Just looking for opinions on XM and Sirius sat radio. Coverage, selection etc
Thanks
I've had Sirius for a couple years. The music channels are great, the reception is fine except for the occasional bridge or heavily tree lined road. The talk/news channels still have too many commercials though. Well worth the monthly fee overall.
About like comparing apples to oranges dood. I have XM and I am happy with the coverage and lineup. BUT,, anywhere the bird is obscured, tunnels, mountainous regions(certain), cities with buildings taller than a couple stories, heavy tree growth etc... you really need a matrix of terrestrial repeaters or you haven't squat for coverage. I know most big cities have terrestrial coverage for XM. If you live in an area where you need it, better find out which provider if any has that ability.
I have Sirius and listened to XM on the Internet for about a month. I think the two services are very similar. At the time I picked Sirius I thought the content was better. In retrospect there probably isn't that much difference. The best review I have seen to date on XM vs Sirius is from Edmunds.com. They listen to both services for 60 days and go into detail on the differences.

Thanks for the URL, Bruce. Very interesting article.
According to the article, Sirius wins over XM.
This same question came up a couple of months ago and the overall consensus was that, although XM offered more stations, Sirius offered *better* stations. Of course, there were vehement fans of both.
Oh, yeah...when I factory ordered my '05 Murano SL yesterday afternoon, I chose to go with Sirius. :)
afternoon, I
Rich,
I am glad you chose Sirius. I have been very happy with the content on Sirius and I am sure you will too.

Thanks, Bruce. The hard part is waiting for a factory ordered vehicle!
