I've had Sirius for a couple years. The music channels are great, the

reception is fine except for the occasional bridge or heavily tree lined
road. The talk/news channels still have too many commercials though.
Well worth the monthly fee overall.

About like comparing apples to oranges dood. I have XM and I am happy with
the coverage and lineup. BUT,, anywhere the bird is obscured, tunnels,
mountainous regions(certain), cities with buildings taller than a couple
stories, heavy tree growth etc... you really need a matrix of terrestrial
repeaters or you haven't squat for coverage. I know most big cities have
terrestrial coverage for XM. If you live in an area where you need it,
better find out which provider if any has that ability.

I have Sirius and listened to XM on the Internet for about a month. I
think the two services are very similar. At the time I picked Sirius I
thought the content was better. In retrospect there probably isn't
that much difference. The best review I have seen to date on XM vs
Sirius is from Edmunds.com. They listen to both services for 60 days
and go into detail on the differences.

I haven't had any issues with the reception of Sirius. It doesn't do
well under bridges or in parking garages but flawless as long as you
have a clear shot of the sky.

Thanks for the URL, Bruce. Very interesting article.

According to the article, Sirius wins over XM.

This same question came up a couple of months ago and the overall consensus
was that, although XM offered more stations, Sirius offered *better*
stations. Of course, there were vehement fans of both.

Oh, yeah...when I factory ordered my '05 Murano SL yesterday afternoon, I
chose to go with Sirius. :)

Rich,

I am glad you chose Sirius. I have been very happy with the content on
Sirius and I am sure you will too.
