Title: XM or Sirius???
Post by: sun dog on November 10 2005, 02:19:52 PM

Was thinking of joining the 21st century and getting satellite radio.  Wanted to know what anyones thoughts were between the two.

From what I'm aware of, seems like no difference.

I don't have either one, but I think Sirius radio has more selection of rock music.

Isn't Howard Stern on Sirius? That converted a lot of my friends.

Thanks! Food for thought.

natty, I was checking out the Vegas pics and wanted to give "props" as they say on the GSX panel pic.  I could almost smell the burnt rubber.

I've had the opportunity to try both, and I think
that they're nearly the same. Good for traveling,
if you hate changing stations all the time. I still
prefer commercial radio when I'm local. Current
weather forcasts, up coming shows, and events
that you'll miss with satellite radio. :cool;

Natty, my bad!  My posting skills are under construction.  If you D/L any more I'll check 'em out...nothing like good imagery.

Thanks, man.  I got dish tv last year and couldn't go back to analog cable.  I imagine I'll have to try out the satellite radio, I just want to bring it inside the house too, so I can get my moneys worth.
