Sirius Satellite Radio -- Undervalued Stock?

With the impending migration of Howard Stern over to Sirius Satellite Radio (here and here), I've given some thought to snatching up some of their stock (ticker symbol SIRI) while it's still a very reasonable buy (flopping around five bucks a share), plus it just jumped from 1 "strong buy" to 6.  My opinion of satellite radio is that it will be the "internet" (read:  huge innovation) of the airwaves, sans commercials and FCC oversight...a good thing.  Any thoughts on this?  Sounding board is on.

I don't really get satellite radio - I am unable to convince myself that I should pay for something that I can get for free. Also, it reminds me of the music channels that come with digital cable or satellite tv - I never use them, because they are boring, repetitive and impersonal.

If satellite radio can add enough value (not just by removing commercials), and provide good entertainment (Howard Stern is a good start), then perhaps it will take off.

I don't see the "internet" comparison as valid. Satellite radio does not add any real features other than the ability to broadcast nationally and have people pay for listening. The internet was a huge enabler of communication, but satellite radio is just another way of doing the same old thing.

I consider myself an audiophile...the main reason (behind commercials) that I hate the radio is sound quality (or lack thereof); I'd get satellite radio if not just for the digital quality alone. CD's have really spoiled me. The main issue I have right now is that I don't know anyone who has satellite radio, thus I'm unable to get any unbiased opinions.

I don't think that radio will be the final frontier for satellite technology like this...it's just one (early) manifestation of what this technology is going to enable, I just hope the satellite companies stay innovative and competitive; there is a lot to be offered via these services, I hope this is realized.
