I have both. Started with XM, got Sirius later. Sirius is better for music, XM much better for talk. As someone pointed out, XM has a wider variety of music, but Sirius has more of each general genre. So if you like, say, classic rock, on Sirius, you'll have about 5 channels you can switch between to find something you like.

I was going to drop XM and keep Sirius, but then XM got major league baseball, and I got an MP3 player, so I don't need Sirius' music. And the upcoming presence of Howard Stern gives me another reason to cancel it.

XM has Steve Sommers' show, and Phil Hendrie, who makes my sides hurt from laughing. Yeah, if I were to cancel one, and I probably will, it will be Sirius.

 

We have xm, he told me he wanted it for the weather/driving conditions channels, lol.........I found it was due to the NASCAR coverage........it's all good though, there is a great variety of programming on there and very rarely do we loose signal on it, we switched over our credit card a few months ago and were without it for about a full day during the transition of payment methods for it we really found out just how much we enjoy having it in here and not digging for cd's or trying to tune into another channel every so many miles, so nice to be able to listen to the same program if you choose to for the full length of it and not have to worry about driving out of the stations range anymore

We've thought about running both of them, I hear there are different city listings on each one, the reason I think it would beneficial, he is looking more at the larger variety of programming all together we'd have with them both and for the amount of time we stay out it'd make sense to have a variety too

 

I have sirius I love it.

 

The only reason TO GO to Sirius WOULD BE Stern....

Nascar...XM's got it with in car radio....
MLB....XM's got it....
Traffic....bla bla bla

One is just about the same as the other. Check out the line up and see which one suits you, then buy that one.

What's good for one isn't always good for another.....

 

Oh boy...another one of these self-loathing people who prefers to delude themselves and become guilt ridden by paranoid Marxist and anti-American screeds. Believe it or not, but capitalist Americans are not resource greedy environment haters, are not overly aggressive business competitors with win at all cost and at the expense of the rest of the world mentalities, we are not warmongers trying to corner the world's oil supply, and we are not the root cause of all evils in the world with the possible exception of the evil Jews in Israel even though we are universally portrayed that way by those envious Eurocentric BBC idiots. Oh yeah...and Islamofascism is not just a figment of Americans and Jews minds. To the contrary, America is the greatest, most compassionate and helpful country in the world, and no other country even remotely approaches our greatness or our generosity, thanks very much. Now hows that for a dose of reality and the truth?

Oh yeah...I have Sirius because I'm a big NCAA College Football fan and Sirius has Rivals Radio and way more NCAA College Football coverage than XM. I also listen to a lot of talk radio and Fox News because unlike the guy above, I like listening to the truth.

 

There's only one way to know whether Sirius, XM, both, or neither :shock: is good for you:

1) Print out the XM Channel Guide
2) Print out the Sirius Channel Guide
3) Look at them side-by-side and choose based on your own personal criteria/taste.

I'm personally slanted to XM because Sirius has some channels in *not* interested in.

 

I have Sirius. I don't care about Stern. I listen to him maybe once a month. That's enough for me.

 

Sirius here. well in my jeep
not sure which or what I'll get once I start driving

 

I'm XM ATW-all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont listen to Stern or any of that kinda stuff...what I'm interested is in industry news and thanks to Mack,BOZ, Steve, Bubba Bo and Nemo, along with "Landline Now" ... I have a business to run and I like to stay current on what is going on....

Sirius has the "Midnite Trucking" and then plays old syndicated's of Bozo...

NO THANKS
