XM vs Sirius
Howard Stern is washed up. I used to listen to his show whenever I could but I could barely bring myself to listen any more. Opie and Anthony are sooo much better and they're on XM. If it wasn't for that I probably wouldn't have a preference for either one.

It's interesting that equal numbers have one service or the other and are happy with it but that, of those who are switching, almost four times as many are switching from XM to Sirius as are switching the other way.
I choose Sirius over one factor at first (Howard Stern), you either love or hate him and I've been a listener as of day 1 since he's been on in Los Angeles. Did however take a 5-day free trial prior to buying my Plug'N'Play unit just to see what all the hipe was about. I'm a regular listener to 20 Octane, 28 Faction and should have bought one sooner.

Have sirrius and it is absolutely awesome. Great rock and roll channels and the Blues channel is worth the subscription rate all by itself. The antenna mount is a non-descript metallic disc about two inches across that sits at the top edge / center of my trunk (have a convertible SS)......

as far as both of them goes it just depends on the person itself.. If your looking for rock then yes go sirius much better selection there, they both kinda overall have the same playback.. i would say check how many channels does each company have of your fav. music, i know that xm has a 30 day tryout on their website so that you can listen b4 buying ... i'm not sure about sirius though. Hey you guys forget opie&anthony are pretty bad *** too on xm!

I'll just say that I work at Best Buy in the Car Audio department and Sirius satellite radios were our most popular item by far this year for Christmas (and even before that).
If I had to make a choice, based on the quality of the product and the listing of music types, I'd definitely go for Sirius. Their genres seem to be a bit more well-defined and have better hits.
Oh, and I really couldn't give a damn about Howard Stern.

Sirius's playstyle is akin to FM's Hits play.
XM's is akin to a wide rangeing CD collection, a broader collection of music. I prefer to hear stuff that isn't just the hits.
If ya like mostly hits, thats you its not me. i like it all. Both however are far better than FM.... Die FM die!
