I was wondering what everyone thought about these two different satellite radio brands. Both looked pretty good, so the other day I ordered the Sirius version, and it seems to be working out wonderfully! I love the no commercials, and not losing my stations as I travel. Any other opinions on these types of radios?

I tried both and liked the sirius the best. the XM seemed too, "Clean" for my taste, I like to listen to the comedy channels allot and found XM (BEEPING) out most of the acts.

I got the impression XM was more family based, and Sirius had a wider range of content as it wasnt cleaned up or censored for younger listeners...

Also I think Sirius has 3 satellites and XM only has one, I never did try XM in the Canadian rockies but Sirius has perfect coverage..

stern had the inventor of satellite radio on his show, the guy ( now a woman) is a weirdo, but a genius. he figured out that by having 3 satellites in a figure 8 pattern, you could have coverage just about anywhere with just a small antenna

sirius has no commercials on their music channels where xm does have commercials on some of the music channels...


I believe sirius has a better lineup of channels.
