huh. So whats the sq comparable to - fm radio? Better or worse? Does sat. radio ever "break up?"

It looks like Sirius is the better option despite having less channels.

If you plug in to aux input it's way better than fm almost respectable. if you use the fm modulator, it's good but not great. And as far as amount of channels sirius could have only a 100 channels and still kick xm's ***. If you get it and like howard stern, you'll find your self stuck on channel 100 and 101. And check out the bubba the love sponge show it's funny a hell.

I have portable XM radio and I like it just because, well I can take it anywhere! I can hook it up to my stereo at home, in my truck, or just walk around with it. Amazing little unit, this Inno is. Oh, I forgot to add I can hook it up to my computer as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I've never listened to Sirius so I don't know if the music is better. I will say XM has been slacking as of late and the music has been pretty sh1tty.

I've been listening to xm radio in a little internet, free trial sort of deal all day. I'm a little disappointed - lots of old songs on repeat.

I'll tell you the main compliant that I have with XM. They like to play a lot of the same artists on the stations I listen to(Lucy and Ethel). They play smashing pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, A LOT.

Hmm. I think I'll go with Sirius then.

I like the little dog better anyway.

I had both... I like Sirius better. Music still repeats itself like any radio, but I felt like XM was the same hour over and over again.

it repeats itself a lot. They do have some really cool things with artists though, for instance they picked up lollapalooza from earlier this year which was pretty cool. Also they have a thing I like to listen to called, " A State of Trance," with Armin Van Buuren. It's pretty sweet and comes on once a week for 2 hours.

I've had both.

XM seems like it has more commercials, and more censorship.

Sirius has more expletives, and less commercials.

I prefer Sirius.
