This is bull. XM's music channels are deep, eclectic, and superior in
every respect to Sirius. Your remarks reeks of not knowing the facts.


Really? Damn - I guess that (((XM))) receiver in my wife's car must
be Sirius then.

Wow - who 'da thunk?

Anyone seeking Top40 would be comfortable at Sirius. People seeking
deeper playlists, diversity of entertainment, and better sound quality
to boot would be looking at XM.


This is bull - to turn a phrase. :)

I listen to NPR, and then to one of three classical stations in the

That explains a lot.



What does it explain?

Yeah! That's it. :-) Or, maybe they have attention spans longer than those
normally observed in gnats.

No, I'm pretty sure it's because they are commie pinko elitists,
etc....

Of course that doesn't mean that they have longer attention spans. I
mean if anybody is going to put me into a comma, it's Terry Gross a
creature of "public" radio if there every was one.

You can wear these over your head, John. I think it's time for you to do so.

This is bull. XM's music channels are deep, eclectic, and superior
in
every respect to Sirius

That is not what Edmunds says:

"So who's the winner?


First, let us say that even the most discriminating listener will be
happy with either XM Radio or Sirius Radio. It is obvious that both
companies have put together a crack team of researchers and
programmers, and the variety of content offered by both services is
truly staggering and impressive. In fact, we could easily call this
test a tie, since both XM and Sirius provide excellent content.


That being said, we're going to give Sirius the nod. It strikes us that

XM Radio takes fewer chances with its content, sticking to the tried
and true, while Sirius takes a riskier path. As a result, the Sirius
content is a little edgier and more surprising, plus the company has
better choices in sports and talk."

Interesting that this was done before Kamazin.

Since then, Sirius is slowly adding more mainstream music to the more
edgy channels - in particular the electronic/dance genre.

BUT....

They are still heads and above (((XM))).

Not to mention that Sirius web streams are free - (((XM))) you gotta
pay an extra $4 a month.

But the service costs less to begin with, the streams are much better
sound (higher bitrate) and they have XM music instead of Sirius.

Also, you can't get the Sirius streams unless you also have a Sirius
radio. You can get XM online without a radio subscription.
