    I had sirius for about a year and a half. At first it was nice, good reception almost everywhere, etc. However, the sound quality was poor (plenty of compression, distortion, and a VERY annoying bass boost that made me have to change my sound settings when switching from a CD). Honestly, in my experience, FM sounds way better - and while I liked Sirius' programming a lot, I can't stand listening to a sh!tty source. I cancelled the service some months ago, but have been too lazy to remove the brain unit and antenna from the car.

      sirius

      we have sirius radio. i enjoy it, good stations, someone mentioned first wave. i listen to older stuff (classic rock etc) so i don't know what you listen to. there is classic vinyl, classic rewind, and some other more general rock stations, and if not, i always go to the blues stations. There also is this cool one, Radio Classics, and if your an older folk, its all the radio shows like Dragnet, the Whistler, and otehr ones. my 2 cents.

        XM in conjunction with DirectTV, no I don't like it as the used to advertise as commercial free and now they are not. Would not pay for it.

          I do sirius... several years now, every one of my vehicles. Even if it comes with XM I convert it to Sirius. Faction 28 is my channel... awesome.

          XM has some good dance/techno stations, better than sirius, but the rest of the stations for rock suck in comparison.

            I can't live without my XM. Tho I am 90% of the time on 202 for O&A and Ron & Fez. When I listen to music is mainly the rock stuff which is commerical free.
