Answer 1

Did you have a question?

Is this Yahoo! Answers or Yahoo! Listen to Rants?

Answer 2

I love Xm.

They have nearly twice as many subscribers.

The only thing that sirius has that I'm aware of that xm doesn't is howard stern,and personally I got my fill of him when he was on terrestrial.

sirius made a bad deal,in my opinion,offering so much money for stern,with little in return from subscriptions.

As for the promotions,XM seems to have great customer service,and more of a "try it you'll like it attitude"where sirius has a "get all you can then s***w em plan.

I heard sirius has jim bruer,whom I enjoy,but the XM comedy and original programming I enjoy is very satisfying.

I don't want to start a radio war,but I haven't ever met anyone who was completely satisfied with sirius.In five years I have never had a problem serious enough to call customer service.

As for the technological differences,I cant confirm or deny.The only problem Ive had is trying to listen to my battery operated"boombox" at low volume,it does distort,but not with AC.

All in all I love XM too.

XM 202 O and A ,Ron and Fez ,catch the VIRUS

Answer 3

xm blows.

Sirius blows it away and if they both merge they will be droping a lot of the channels becasue 99% of them are doubles anyway.  Since you used the service why sould you get a refund. I have eaten 75.00 steaks at resturants that tasted like leather, still had to pay for it when I was done.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Wow, you really need to take the time to retype this circus mess you have here.  Have you heard of the <Shift> key by chance?  You know I don't see very many periods at the end of the sentences with the proper spacing at the end.

So let me get this straight.  You got a XM receiver for 40 dollars and 3 months free plus free activation.  Okay, that's worth $39.  You paid, including taxes about $44.  You got two Sirius radios for 1¢, but you paid $60 for three months.  To me, it looks like you got two great deals.  But you probably couldn't get a refund because you got in on a promotion which required you to purchase a certain amount of months of programming, like the satellite television deals do.

Depending on your preferences, XM might have been better for you.  Sirius was better for me.  It's really a personal preference.  It's a good thing that you tried both of them to see and could afford to.

So what's the question?  I liked Sirius just because of the sound quality.  I'm not a fan of MPEG-based codecs, which XM uses.  I've listened to XM using some really horrible speakers, and I could hear coding errors in the stream with the ctAACplus grunge.  Yuck.  I also like the programming, but as I mentioned before, it is a matter of personal preference.
