The radio I'd bought for the car 6 months ago was Sirius-ready, so this weekend I bit and bought the actual satellite tuner. I was so eager to listen, I installed it as I sat in the parking lot. Then I used my laptop (via someone's conveniently wide-open LinkSys wifi) to subscribe online.
It is amusing to have so many channels of genre-specific music. For kicks, I tuned into the "Hair Nation" channel to listen to some 80's metal. It was somewhat revolting: "Let it Rock" by Bon Jovi, followed by Stryper's "To Hell With The Devil." Did I really listen to that stuff...and enjoy it? Yes, I did. Live & learn.

The next day I moved the antenna from its temporary location on the dash to a permanent home under the glass moonroof.
It tooke me awhile to find a nice way to run the antenna cable from the tuner under under the seat, under the carpet, around the dash, behind the A-pillar upholstery, behind the headliner and into the moonroof cavity. Thankfully no drilling was required.

"Disclosure:" I bought some stock in SIRI earlier in January.
