i have xm and want sirius, i work for circuit city and have a mifi and a direct link unit but would give both up for one sirius unit because their 90s, hairnation, alt nation and other programing is way better. thier reception is better. i could give a crap about 0& a or howard stern, overall imo sirius is hands down better, same price but better content, i listen to it all day long at work and dont hear the same shit but with xm i do. ---

its not really that sirius’s tech is behind XM for the portability thing, a lot of it has to do with the fact that sirius uses FAR FAR less signal repeaters than XM. whereas XM has a single stationary sat. (i think its above nevada, or farther south) sirius uses 3 different sat that rotate in a figure 8 around most of north and centeral america. in order to do a portable player, they would have to go the xm route and have a more repeated signal which can lead to quality loss, rather than having a true sat signal. (thats not to say XM’s quality is bad around here, ive only listened to it a couple times so i cant say). overal though, sirius \> XM for content. fuck both O&A and howard though ---

Does anyone know if Shade 45 is on XM or Sirius, i cant remember. WHich one has more channels? Cmon satelite nerds, fill me in which one should i get put in the slobra for spring. ya shade45 is on siruis… i hear its a pretty good station too. i am not in collage therefore i would never be walking around and needing to listen to music. if i had any free time like that id give my GF a call 🙂 so far in this post mike it looks like everyone basically is showing sirius has better features across the board besides the WiFi thing whick i dont need. we even have a XM user that wants to quit XM and go to sirius. so do what ya all want but i know what service and reciver im getting 🙂 ---
