Before I got it I did the free trial online of both XM and Sirius to see what the music was like and Sirius was more to my taste. Now they have NFL, NHL, Stern and more. Worth every penny. Stern has been great, I got hooked from the first day he was on. Do the online trial thing like I did and decide for yourself.

XM introduced some new channels and got rid of some old ones and there was a very popular mixed channel which they took off the air. The only reason I would go XM would be if I really wanted to listen to sports. XM has more sports and they also have NASCAR. Other than that Sirius is the best. Just my opinion! 08 Eclipse GT-P Spyder 96 TSi AWD - 2.3L Sroker w/all the goodies 06 Ram 3500 Cummins

If you like Rock, 20 octane is amazing, I couldn't come up with better mixes myself if I tried. If you like techno/trance, etc., area 33 is nice also. XM is gay because it carries NASCAR...and the only thing worse than watching NASCAR, is listening to it on the radio.

I have Sirius, love the "nothing is off limit" comedy and radio shows. The uncensorship of satellite radio is why I actually bought one. If you are the type of person who wants censorship then I would stick with regular radio and save the month fee for something else. My $0.02 One of the guys on War Of The Wheels.

The lack of censorship is great. Stern is past his prime. XM also carries all of the MLB games for the baseball fans out there.

Stern is washed up and O&A are the big hitters, and don't forget about Jimmy Norton.

I think I'd like sirius for the Stern but thats about it, and I seem to get signal with my XM where Sirius doesn't. 1997 Eagle Talon TSi Awd SOLD 1997 Jeep TJ Sahara 35"s, winch, stuff like that.

NASCAR IS A JOKE "SPORT"...any reasonable driver with a sponsor could be top three. For the record, I have driven 165MPH into a corner before...and not in a 300k car, not quite 200, but close. 2002 Porsche 911 Silver 2006 BMW 325XIT Black *2003 BMW 325i Silver
