The poll is really to much a personnel choice, it really isnt a question of which is better.
Before I got my satillite radio I was determined that It wouldnt be Sirius, only because Howard Stern is on it. (IMO, he is a total waste)...but that is only my opinion. When the time arrived that I was going for satillite, I was looking over the program lineup for XM and wasnt much of interest. I looked over the lineup for Sirius, and except for Stern, I liked its lineup better. Discarding the music channels, because they are almost the same. I was looking at the news/talk/entertainment/comedy, and I was more impressed with Sirius. I found out that around the end of the year, they will merge anyway. I rarely loose the signal with my Sirius, and I only use the mouse antenna supplied with the unit. ( I have it velcroed to my skylight cover on the condo, facing up, of course, trough the skylight, it works really good up there. Also dont use the FM transmitter to recieve the audio, (to much noise and had to change FM stations all the time as I was driving. Get a cassette adaptor or CD input cable to patch the audio throught the trucks radio. The poll question should be which service do you subscribe to? But that still will not help you choose. Look at the program lineup for both. Choose the one you like best. BTW...Satillite radio, best think invented after the wheel. Ive had mine for almost 4months...It is always on....passes the driving time...and I cant figure how I managed to drive truck for 5 yrs and not have a satillite radio.

I have cd player now used to use cass adapter I like this much better
