Sirius.
Besides XM is going to get swallowed up by Sirius in a year or two anyway.
I'd like to know how XM is 50% cheaper than Sirius?
Fuzzy Math.

I have Sirius and just sent them a complaint email. The music is ok and news (I wish that had MSNBC) is fine and it's well worth the money but I'm tired of listening to the nonsense from the Dj's. I don't need some idiot telling me the next song when all I have to do is look up at the receiver. And their lame intros to songs. I have been listening a lot to the 70's station. These songs have been around for 30 years, they are not going to find a new way to introduce them, just play the song.

More people must complain about the same thing cause this was the answer I got:

Dear

Thank you for your recent email regarding our programming. We're happy
to hear from you!

Our emphasis is on the music and entertainment you want, . Master
music programmers and on-air personalities, who are true experts, host
our music. They back up the music with compelling information about the
song being played. We do not consider announcements and on-air host
discussions "commercials”, we simply want to ensure that our listeners
remember who they are listening to so they can come back to their
favorite channels and make requests. We apologize for any frustration
caused by the announcements and on-air host discussions.

We are forwarding your comments, regarding limiting the amount of
talking our DJ's do on our music channels, to the appropriate
programming teams for consideration. We appreciate you taking the time
to share your feedback with us, ! We find your feedback is
crucial to our success!

We are committed to providing you with the best in customer care. If
you have any more questions, please feel free to contact SIRIUS Customer
Care. For your convenience, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week at:

1-888-539-SIRIUS (7474)

As well as by email at:

www.sirius.com/customercare

Sincerely,

Rita
SIRIUS Customer Care

I like the compelling part. Like listening to Greg Brady talk about kissing Marcia every single day is compelling.

I have Sirius replay and love the programming, it passes the time like no other. You get into a talk show and hours can fly by as you whip thru entire states with no fade or channel surfing.

The antenna wire has broken recently and oddly enough they do not sell just the antenna at the big box shops, had to go on ebay and find some, kinda odd.

I like the $500 buyout on Sirius, I just float 3 subscriptions month to month and plan to buy them out sometime for life, thought I would test the things out and see if I used them enough outside of the truck to justify the cost and I do.

It's 8 bucks a month or so for 3 averaged out, a bargain considering the hours spent in a truck, go get 1!

Most truckstops sell both the mushroom style antennas and the mouse style antennas as a standalone product.
