XM radio or Sirius?

Just trying to get everyone's oppinion on whether to get XM or Sirius. Pros/cons of each, what do you have?

I have sirius in my 99 Dakota.

Pros: Pick a genre of music and away you go commercial free. I'm a metal head and I'm happy with the stations and format.

Cons: Drop out signals sometimes, and there's no buildings and/or mountains blocking the signal. Another issue I have with Sirius is when you prepay for an extended time, They dont give you a heads up when the bill is due. They just auto debit your account without telling you. Yes, Ive called customer support on this and they just give you lip service. Others have complained about the same thing.

I have the Sportster reciever along with a FM modulator to transmit the signal to the head unit. I also have the best antenna they offer in an effort to help the drop outs. But that didn't work. Oh well! You'll hear others say XM and Sirius are very similar. IMO, they are. It just boils down to personal preference. Good luck and crank it up loud.

I've got XM and love it

$99.00 portable XM units, car units are $39 and $49

(just so you know the portable MyFi goes for $249 - $299 in stores)

They both drop out if covered . automatic draft from either company.Howard Stern begins jan.9 uncensored on sirius.I have sirius in all six of my cars,I'll never go back to am/fm.Hell i dont even listen to cds anymore,there is always a good song on....

What about programming, do they both offer the same thing or is one better than the other? Thanks.

as far as the music goes it's both the same styles of music and comedy stuff

XM has the NHL, NASCAR, Major League Baseball plus college (ACC, PAC-10, SEC and a few others)

Sirius has NFL

i have both and Sirus is better

I have had both and sirius is by far better.

yea sirius is better but i borrowed my buddies(he had aextra pedistal/antenna) and it only played out the right side speakers....
