I dropped XM and got sirus due to the programming. I really like sirus's programming alot better.

I gotta agree as well. full Bubba mark right here!

I have had Sirius for 3 years and love it. My folks had XM and I hated it.

What did they hate about XM?? I have it and yes their customer service is really bad........so is the reception (losing it around mountains and trees) but I like the programming they have.

i am partial to sirius, mostly due to their programming but the more i listen to xm the more i like it. does any one ever listen to the radio classics? or old time radio on xm? some of those old time radio shows pass time. i really like the detective shows philip marlow, shadow.

your forgetting the Twilight Zone, Superman and dont forget Xminus 1, lone ranger, Bonanza and Baby Snooks to name a few.


they sure help pass the time, ( between Howard and Bubba) and you dont get stuck listening to the same songs over and over again.
my Father talkes about some of them 'stories' and its kinda nice to know what heis talking about

Had sirius 3 years, same receiver, 2 p u trucks, 4 hoes,2 crawlers and a dozer.If you cant find a good channel your going deaf. The outlaw country channel may have the best operaters soundtrack.

It was mainly the music selection. Sirius just seemed to play more and better songs. I have had rental cars with XM and I just don't think they play the "good" songs like Sirius.
