I have both each one has it pros and cons...I like the selection on XM over Sirus.
Sirius bought XM. Its one company now. Sirius is the parent company, XM still has its brodcasts & channels, but they have both picked their best channels. I personally liked Sirius as it was, it seems watered down with the addition of XM's brodcasting style & merging in DJ's. Sirius did sideline some of their annoying DJ's with XM's better guys. For example Octaine 20 dropped Jason Ellis & AD (or some named guy, whom I couldn't stand) and replaced them with Grant & someguy from XM. Kayla stayed where she was & Covino moved to mornings. Its not too bad. MAXXIM radio was downsized & is on with cosmo or sumjunk. The comedy channels merged & were watered down with other dudes from XM, when we used to hear Artie Lang every day, now its only friday nights. Howard Stern was mostly untouched. I dont even listen to regular radio anymore! Sirius markets their own recievers where XM sources thers out. ie Pioneer. Ford includes Sirius with their vehicals where GM & Chev deals with XM equipment. I like Sirius the best, we have both, as my wife wanted a hands free unit made by pioneer & she drives a GM car. We find that the XM has more dead spots than Sirius while driving. I hope this helps a bit, others will testify to the other, but in the end, it's your choice! LOL!
I would never ever buy XM again; That was a big mistake. Lost reception everywhere, and it was a very rare occasion when a good song would come on. I'd go with Sirius, 100%.
