XM or Sirius radio?

Question

Thinking of getting one, not sure which would fit me better. I am not a sports fan, do like talk radio, Imus, Howard Stern. Like classic rock, new country, alternative.

Answer 1

i have Sirius  i  love it  but never

had XM

but if you look at the back of the

XM and the Sirius  box it has the

same number on both boxes

to call to get them turned on

Sirius was talking about

buying XM out one time

i don't know if they

ever did .........

Answer 2

They are almost identical in programming except for the sports.  I listened to howard for years, but I think Opie and Anthony are 10x better.  I just got tired of howard's monotone voice.

Check out both websites and look at the channel lineup.

The one thing I will give sirius is that they have a wider bandwidth per channel, and are planning on streaming MPEG-4 video.

Answer 4

I like the name XM, its way cooler than Sirius...what?

Serious? Sirius?  huh?  I don't know how to even say it right.

There was AM,

Then there was FM,

Now there's XM.

just cool!

Answer 5

If you like Howard Stern, Sirius is your only option as he's not on XM.  I have serious and my friend has XM...I find that they are very similar (with the exception of Stern).  I'm a huge Howard Stern fan, so the choice was easy for me.

Answer 6

XM ALOT BETTER I THINK YOU'LL ENJOY IT MORE I HAVE BOTHAND I LIKE XM BETTER AS A MATTER OF FACT SIRIUS IS GETTING THE BOOT FROM ME ....JUST MY OPINION

Answer 7

I am such a big fan of XM radio - I hear it at home and in the car.

I love that they have soooo many genres to listen to and there's no commercials.

It's worth the monthly subscription payment I pay every month.

XM totally rocks!!!!

If you'll plug that same question into the "Search for Questions" bar at the top of the page, you'll get a lot of great answers to this question.



For the record, I prefer XM - but it really depends on the individual - do the search and study before making your decision.
