I don't have XM, but I do have Sirius. I've had it for about a month and it's great. I've completely stopped listening to FM.
What are you gonna do when Sirius goes under? They have more money invested than XM, and don't have 1/4 as many subscribers...you pay $3 more a month and you get what? The same stuff! Just different DJ's playing different music but it's all the same variety. Sirius is on it's way south...I give them a year from now TOPS!

As for XM vs. Sirius, it is a matter of which HU you like. Sirius is $3 more a month, but totally comercial free. XM is cheaper $9/mo. and some of the channels have commercials. I am a cheap bastard, so I got XM (actually, I like Pioneer)!
Actually, Sirius has buckled and are no longer commercial free anymore. They couldn't afford to stay commercial free and live off of subscriptions alone. They could if they had a few million subscribers but they don't...DOH! It sucks because my honest opinion is that Sirius has better technology and is better covered than XM. They just partnered up with all the wrong people. XM has the right people backing them up and are proving that. XM opened 2 months late in comparison to when they claimed they'd be up and running where Sirius took 8-9 months. They had more problems than they should've. I guess they shouldn't have rushed to get up and going in such a hurry...obviously they had a few details not so worked out huh? ;-) Oh well, Sirius is heading south and they're headed there fast...Now give XM the chance to buy Sirius and with Sirius' technology, they'll make CD's sound like crap. XM + great sounding radios = great sound. Sirius (better technology) + mid line at best radios = great sound. Now put Sirius' technology with the radios backed by XM....WHEW!!!!!!!!! That'd be some FUUUUNNNNNN stuff! :wiggle:
