I'm going to get one of these. Trying to decide which. Someone told me that Sirius has all the NFL games and XM doesn't so I'm leaning that way.
 
From what I've read, if you want sports, get Sirius. If you want music and talk, get XM. I don't have any experience with either so I can't give any real input. XM is $3 a month cheaper than Sirius.

Thats tough then. I like talk radio, music, and sports. Well, footbalkl anyway. thats the only sport I really like.
 
Howard Stern will be on Sirius.

While I don't really listen to Howard Stern's show, his move to Sirius is more of a political statement about FTC censorship, and I agree with him.

I LOVE the idea of satellite radio! This should be a REAL wake-up call for broadcast radio stations. When people can listen to the radio for FREE and people would STILL rather pay for someone else's service, you MUST be doing something wrong!
 
I have sirius and I am very happy with both the programming and the reception.

But what really impresses me is the Audiovox sirius receiver,this thing is user friendly,it is a breeze to use its many features,unlike a lot of electronic gadgets and gear.
 
Two words for ya'......"Howard Stern"! :D
 
The satellites that broadcast either system have antennas that broadcast a pattern very tailor-made to the US. If you live in the center (north/south) of the US, in Tennessee for example, you will have no reception problems. Unless you've got a metal roof, you can probably just put the antenna on top of the radio inside your house. My older brother, on the other hand, lives in northern New York just miles south of Canada. He is on the very edge of the pattern. He had to have an antenna put on the outside of his house and somewhat carefully aimed. I've also heard of folks in southern parts of Florida and Texas requiring outside antennas for home reception.

That is correct, Gollnick. I live in Austin and need to put my Sirius antenna outside the house.
