I have both and Sirius has at least a dozen more channels that I like. Now that they have Howard, it's the icing on the cake.
Sirius is so much better than XM radio

i'm happy with my XM for now... but i'm sure i'll have both eventually. I see it kinda as like.. HBO and Showtime or something.
Certainly if i ever get myself a new car ill get Sirius in there so i can listen to stern.Comment

Between the two services there is no comparison.
Sirius wins, hands down.
The HBO/Showtime comparison is way off though. It's more like VCR vs. DVD player if you're looking to compare technology and options.
XM had the cooler startup, the relationship with GM and some distinct marketing advantages and their service isn't bad, but it's definitely not Sirius.
I'm a Howard fan as well as an Opie and Anthony fan, but I won't bother with O&A until they make the switch to Sirius and that won't happen so bye bye O&A.Comment

I have XM in my new Acura, which I get free for a few months. Sirius I got to listing to Stern in my office.Comment

*shrug* the reason i made that comparison is because they both have different content.... i wasn't talking technology wise.Comment

We suck in canada we have censored radioOriginally posted by rayadp05I rebooted, deleted temp files, history, cookies and everything...still cannot view the news clip. All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?Comment

I have not heard Sirius too much, but I have XM included with Directv and love it
I am really into electronic music, so having a station that plays new music and mixes is great...the Thump Funk show is amazing, plus they broadcast the Essential Mix while it is happening, a live feed....i don't think Sirius does thatComment

I like XM for AirAmerica. Not on Sirius..
I don't listen to it anyways.Comment

I don't think one can say generally that one is better than the other. It's a matter of preference. If you are in to make a choice, compare the channels, what you like and what you don't like. Some channels are similar on both, while some others are different. After a thorough comparison, I decided for XM because it had the most channels that I was planning to listen to. After a year of service now, I certainly do not regret the decision.
On the contrary to TV channels though, I still find it difficult to justify having both Sirius and XM as suggested by one poster. The differences in programming between Sirius and XM do not seem to be enough to justify paying for both.

Yes Sirius is much better. I have had both. I can't stand XM... Sirius has 3 satellites and XM has two along with some repeaters (XM doesn't even own it's satellites it leases them from Directv). Sirius is true 100% digital, XM is not... Not to mention the programming and stations are 100x better on Sirius.Comment

I have both services now and I've had no signal drops on XM like I've had with Sirius. They each have pretty much the same programs with just a handful of select stations that the other doesn't have.
It costs so little, having both is the way to go.

i have sirius and a nice system in my 4runner and i think the quality blows...xm sounds much better in systems i've heard. sirius changes the compression on channels based on popularity, and octane sounds like a 96kbps mp3. i love the programming but the quality sucks and they should have a longer buffer time/recording options on the decks, here in phoenix it cuts out under freeway overpasses and shit.Comment
