I have XM and wanted that because I happen to be an Opie and Anthony fan. XM has better equipment and accessories at the moment but I'm sure that Siris will eventually catch up. I would base the choice on what each company actually offers. Each one has contracts with different celbs and hosts. Pick the one that has more of what he likes.

We have Sirius. DH got it last year and this year he was offered my receiver w/ a rebate so I now have it in my car. Not sure which one is "better". We both listen to Stern and DH got Sirius before he made the announcement so I guess we got lucky.

I really like it for all of the news channels as well.

check out the different types of music stations. I liked what Sirrus had over XM. I'm sure they are both equally as good.


Both offer so many different receivers to choose from...Check out which ones have better write-ups.

there is no additional charge for stern
you just have to pay for the receiver, equipment & service

you have to decide who/what you want to listen to
we have sirius & love it...but we love stern too!

Re: Satellite Radio

I have Sirius; they have better rock stations than XM.

Also, from what i hear for XM you need to pay for everything extra... if you want to listen online its extra, if you want O&A its extra, etc etc. Sirius you basically get everything for the same price. This may have changed that though, I had heard this a couple of months ago.

Sirius also has NPR, while XM does not; and that is important to some people.

Check the channel selection on each; and see which feeds you likes better.

If you click on the 'Listen' button on the Sirius website you can get a free 3 day online pass to the site; and you can listen to most of the stations online, just to get a feeling what it is like.

they did away with the extra charge for O & A...it's just a flat price now and you can get a free online trial of XM as well....one trial per e-mail address.

Re: Satellite Radio

Sirius has all commercial free stations and from what I understand XM is not 100% commercial free...

I love my Sirius
