imnutss Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 I have XM in my truck.... I believe XM has more stations than sirius and is a little better. but everytime I go under an overpass or am around tall trees it looses reception big negative for satelite radios.

deephousemann Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 I have XM in my car. I think its the best thing to come out since fat girls on mopeds ! lol j/kSeriously, a friend of mine has Sirius and there isnt much of a difference. XM does have more stations though. Check out this link regarding satellite radio.http://www.cashflowbusiness.net/SIRI_vs_XM_radio.htmI live in Miami Beach and we have some of the best radio stations anywhere down here and ever since I got my XM, I havent turned to regular radio since then.Enjoy!

ras67 Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 here is what i picked up doing a sirius promo last weekend: xm has 2 stationary sattelites over the us. sirius has 3 sattelites orbiting in a figure 8 between canada and mexico. eventually the coverage will extend into those areas. even for now that gives a bit clearer coverage to sirius customers. i guess xm charges a premium for some of its channels? dont know how true that is, but sirius includes all 120 channels in its monthly price. if you are into football, they also have an exclusive contract with the nfl to broadcast all games this upcoming season to its listeners so no matter what team you like or where you are you would never miss a game. lastly, xm is owned by clear channel and has some restrictions as to programming. sirius is a publicly owned company and has a lot more freedom in broadcasting. whew... imagine saying that over and over for 10 hours straight?

I bought my bf XM radio for xmas and he loves it. we only listens to WFAN for regular radio now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCHOOPA2u Posted August 19 Author Report Share Posted August 19 in the car that i am getting . i can have sirius installed from the factory. if i wanted to get xm ... i'd have to get it installed at a best buy type of place and i'd rather not have that stupid controller mounted on the dashboard. so i think i am leaning toward the sirius. i wish opie & anthony were going to sirius. i love those guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras67 Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 hi sue! well i know only what they told me for the promo i was doing.... i have no experience with either. but we were DEF told clear channel owned XM. maybe they lied!i am sure if i had been doing a promotion for XM i would have facts that weigh heavily in their direction.... you know how it is!

crazydope Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 If you're into sports go with sirius they have deals with nfl and nhl...and the thing about the satelites is also correct.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A to Z Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 get SIRIUS...you will hear more NYC based DJ's and also a ton of AWESOME DJ's across the country. If your into Dance...sirius is much better. Also you will rarely have problems w/ reception because of the better coverage theyt have.I have my own show saturday nights...stream 62 mendez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voodoolounge Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Don't go to AC for a couple of weeks and buy SIRIUS stock! It's at a all time low of $2 bucksIt will be over 20 in 2 years (thats 10 times your money); ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imnutss Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Nice I hope ur right about the $20 thing cause I picked it up at $1.78 thanks to kudlow and krammer about 2 1/2 months ago when they first announced the deal between sirius and a major car manufacturer. Im holding on to my shares of sirius even though my escalade got XM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoneyjive Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 I initially went with sirius because they had more dance stations - never tried XM so I can't say how they compare, I'm happy with sirius. Haven't listened to a local radio station in 2 years since I've had it, definitely worth it.Besides the NFL, sirius has also announced deals with airlines and a few others, their stock is a definite buy right now.
