Satellite Radio: XM or SIRIUS?
I'm gonna get one or the other-
XM got the jump on SIRIUS, to be sure, a bit better satellite coverage, has more customers, etc., but I'm hearing good stuff about SIRIUS now; new CEO, programming is improving, the stock is taking off.
Opinions from owners/users?
Outlook?
Watcha think?
Huh?
Huh? :huh:

'Tis true, but winamp won't fit in my car...
I've looked a bit at both sites, and am temporarily flummoxed; neither of them obviously out-paces the other.
Tough decision. :huh:

I've had XM for almost two years and no regrets. Never used Sirius though.
Re: Satellite Radio: XM or SIRIUS?
I would go with Sirius myself. Equipment costs less, better customer service, and I have noticed that XM is starting to sneak in a few advertisements on their supposedly commercial free radio.
Another thing I also noticed is if you are planning on dropping big bucks on this, a 5 year subscription to XM costs $499. That same $499 will get you a lifetime subscription to Sirius.
I have had XM before, and have had Sirius the last 7 or 8 months and would not go back.
BTW: When you get Sirius, you get all of their channels for the same $9.99 a month rate as XM, but to get all of XM's stations, you have to pay extra for the premium stations.

Ah, yes...
