Not to mention that Sirius web streams are free - (((XM))) you

pay an extra $4 a month.

But the service costs less to begin with,

True, but with the addons XM is the same or more expensive.

the streams are much better
sound (higher bitrate) and they have XM music instead of Sirius.

I'm not sure what XM music is, but it's not much better than Sirius.

My point was that with the change in leadership (Karmazin) and focus
(meaning adding Howard Stern), they are becoming much more mainstream
than they used to be.

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

True.

What I've noticed about XM vs Sirius is that the dropout rate out here
in the woods is higher with XM than Sirius. And while the bit rate
may be higher, it's not really a factor in car systems.

Later,

Tom
