weegegirl 2 #3 November 22, 2006 I didn't vote because I have only used one so I can't compare. But I have XM and so far so good. I am not overly impressed with the quality of sound, but I like the variety of stations. I almost never lose signal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mostly_Harmless 0 #4 November 22, 2006 I have had Sirius for two years now. It truly has no commercials on it's music stations (Some of XMs music stations have commercials on them now, or so I have been told). For the stations I listen to the playlist rock. They have a lot of new bands that would never make it to main stream radio w/out the help of sat radio. Either way you go sat. radio is an awesome present. Being able to go anywhere and have music available to you is awesome. In the past two years I have probably used my sat. radio 95% of the time._________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katiebear21 0 #8 November 22, 2006 I've not tried Sirius but I like my XM - I can't really compare the two though. I like to hear a human voice every once and a while. THey're not really commercials - just talking about bands and other XM Channels to check out. I like that. I also like being able to log onto my computer and listen. I'm sure Sirius has the same. I bought the Roady2 I think for CHuck's motorcycle. Definitely easy to install unless you want to replace your stereo system with a digital system to get the best sound quality. If you run it through your existing non satellite stereo it's analog I think. I don't know - I'm not a very smart girl!

DavidST 0 #9 November 22, 2006 XM has Opie and Anthony which is why i went with them. The music channels are good though they can be a bit repetitive.As a general rule, the better it felt when you said it, the more trouble it's going to get you into.

slotperfect 7 #10 November 22, 2006 XM has commercials for it's own proprietary content on the music stations, but no paid ads. The news, sports, and talk stations all have regular paid ads.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fast 0 #12 November 22, 2006 I have sirius. I like it. I can't listen to regular radio anymore. Not even for 10-15 minutes.

labrys 0 #13 November 22, 2006 I have both Sirius and XM. I'd recommend Sirius if you prefer more "talk radio" options and XM if you prefer music. The down-side of XM is the commercials on the music stations now.Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DownWind 0 #20 November 23, 2006 I have not used Sirius, but just had the good fortune to have XM radio for an 8 hour trip in Mexico. XM kept me sane in the traffic through Mexico City. They have a great selection of channels and I really enjoyed listening to NPR again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
