WC1215 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm thinking of buying a satellite radio and wonder which service is better-or is it personal preference (like the MAC or PC argument)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecstasy Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I remember someone telling me there was a difference but I don't remember what it was. (Useful, aren't I? LOL) My husband and son-in-law both have XM and love it if that helps any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I should "siriusly" consider getting XM. I don't have either, 'cause regular radio sucks these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmfc1 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I have XM. I loved it from the start and continue to love it. The variety of music channels is incredible. The amount of good talk stations is stunning. If you like sports talk, they just added "ESPN XTRA" which has shows from local ESPN stations. If you like politics, they have POTUS '08 which only covers the presidential election. It's a great product that keeps getting better.The key difference between the two lies here: if you like the NFL and Howard Stern, then take Sirius. If you like baseball (and Oprah), take XM. I'm a baseball guy so having access to every single regular season game was the reason I chose XM over Sirius. There are some differences in the music lineups but my opinion is that this isn't a reason to choose one over another because either is far superior to terrestrial radio.(If you're interested in XM, send me your email and I can send you an invite... I get $20 if you subscribe.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sllvnbil Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm a Howard Stern fan so I went with Sirius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leff'tHome Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 XM tends to be a little less "rowdy". Not as much rap crap, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mood Indigo Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Does anyone know anything about HD radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaD Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 My new car has XM, and I LOVE it! About a week ago, the people from XM called me to welcome me, and began giving me the sales pitch to sign on (I have it on a 90 day free trial right now)... I said "I want it, sign me up!". The woman said "don't you want to know the price?" and I said "I want it, sign me up!". She laughed and said "well, alrighty then!". I don't like baseball OR Oprah, didn't even know those were on XM! But the 80's stations and the comedy stations are fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
