The usability depends on many factors. The idea that "it's gotta be live" doesn't work for me. Don't forget, there's more to SatRadio than music. Having my favorite talk shows recorded for listening on MY schedule has many advantages. First, there's no worrying about reception issues. Second, I can skip commercials and/or replay parts I want to hear again. Think of it as a Tivo for SatRadio. Instead of having to listen to every song a channel plays, I can skip the ones I don't like and with the S50, I can save any of them that I want for later playback.

One of the reasons I prefer the recordability to live is that I can listen to the entire Howard Stern show on my schedule. If I had to rely on the live broadcast and replays, then I have to figure out what I've heard and when there will be parts playing that I haven't heard.

iPods are great if you want to pay for every song or break the law...
