Maybe it's the fact that since the chief complaint against over-the-air

shelling out money for a group of stations all under the control of one

Not true? You'll have to show me, without me having to risk hundreds of
dollars to find out.

I know Sirius has, and I think XM does, too, the opportunity to sample
either service
for 3 days or so for free. From the discussions I've seen in the
alt.satellite.radio
newsgroup, both services seem to work adequately to quite well
technically, so your
choice then is, or should be, based on programming.

Consult each service's website (www.sirius.com and www.xmradio.com) for
details.
