I have them both and like both services. Music on Sirius sounds better
and they don't have all the promos like XM has on their music channels.
XM is a bit easier to get indoors. Sirius has better sports, but XM has
baseball. Nascar going to Sirius in 2007. Sirius boomboxes sound much
better. In all cases, sat radio in the car is SO MUCH BETTER than
regular old AM and FM. Also, now that the price is the same (XM just
raised their price to match Sirius, you can't go wrong with either service.

Maybe it's the fact that since the chief complaint against over-the-air
radio is too much corporate constriction of what's played, actually
shelling out money for a group of stations all under the control of one
company just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

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.
