What was that sound? Sounded like another can of worms being opened...

This topic has been covered in a few threads before. It's all a matter of preference.

Personally, I have XM and I like it. XM has Major League Baseball games and channel 173 - 700 WLW, let's me keep up to date on the homefront regardless of where I am. Other folks will want Sirius for NFL and Nascar. It all depends upon what you want to listen to.

I have both here are my unbiased opinions.

XM has better radios IMHO,the Pioneer inno that I have can record up to 50 hours of content and is smaller than an Ipod and you can download your mp3s onto it.XM has MLB exclusively,along with some ncca football and basketball,along with some NHL games.XM plays deeper cuts on the music stations which can be frustrating at times,I wish they would just play the hits.pretty much everything else is cross platformed,meaning services are on both XM and Sirius.

Sirius has Nascar and the NFL exclusively and also some NHL and NBA games(NBA may be exclusive too),Sirius music is more main stream hits,but they do seem to get stuck on the same songs and artist sometimes,but I do like their music stations better.The radio that I have is the sportster and you can pause and rewind live content which is great,but you cannot rewind or pause more than 50min at any one time,makes it nice when you get out of the truck you can just pause whatever you are listening to.

Then the 2 that probably cause the most discussion,XM has Opie and Anthony in the morning and Sirius has Howard Stern,both shows have their plusses and their minuses,it is just by preference.

The satelitte radio is the greatest invention in the trucking industry since.....
