wnaplay1647545503 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I would go with sirius only cause I cant wait for stern in 06' baby. Really I think once Howard Stern makes his premier in January xm will probably be in for a hurtin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ponyfreak Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I can do without stern so any other reasons? Stations I am looking for are: New rock/alternative Sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgbdbn Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I have Sirius and I like it a lot. There are a few stations dedicated to alternative/rock. No real complaints about XM, havent really had much experience with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 XM, ask tinman. ZOLTAR But XM has a great selection for alt. rock, rock, ect. They are far an above better, they less of the main stream radio junk, so it is much more enjoyable. And I have XM so I vote for it. stations that are good, 29, 47, 48, 54, 81, 82 top five for me.

Nitrousbird Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Sirius. I hear a lot of complaints about XM having too much variety on a number of their stations, playing a lot of obscure crap no one wants to hear. My ex and my roomate both have XM. If you like 80's music, Sirius blows XM away easily. Sirius is far better when it comes to sports coverage too. I'd say rock is about equal; if you are a metal head, the nod goes to Sirius, as Hard Attack is about as Metal oriented as any dedicated metal head could possibly want. As for receivors, I have a Sirius Sporster Replay. It's basically a SkyFi 2 with a better record feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cNeutron Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Sirius by far.....much better sports, music selection and talk radio. I sell this stuff every day and deal with both companies all the time. Sirius has much better hardware as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Another vote for Sirius here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Shepard Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I've had Cirius in the past and loved it so I'd go there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I also am a fan of sirius. It has all the music and sports that i want. Plus I am a big fan of stern so that was another deciding factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I have XM but since i enjoy stern and Rap music i would refer Sirius for shade45 and gunit radio. But . RAW xl ani't bad on XM also XM has opey and anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00ws6 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I have both.. XM sucks ass and can't wait until my subscription is up. XM rock stations plays horrible music.. It's almost as if you have a CD, there are 1-2 hits on the CD and XM plays the rest of the songs rather than the hits.. Octane, on sirius, is a station that plays music like the blitz or the wazu non-stop, or if you like heavier rock, the station hard attack is pretty good too.

Guest turbojc Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 XM has opey and anthony Whom in my oppinion is better than Stern. I like XM mostly because of their Clasic Rock, Jazz, Classical, and Techno stations are top notch as well as their 8 NHL (Hockey) chanels. I will say that their rock stations kinda suck. But all and all i like the XM better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
