XM Radio (or Sirius)

[Alpine TSi]

That's a good unit, you can also pick up the home kit for about 40 dollars, then you can take just the unit in to your house or work at anytime.

It also comes with different colored bezels so you can make it match your interior! ;) I was gonna buy that same unit a year ago, but spent all my funds on bills. :(

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I'm looking at getting sattelite radio, but am having a hard time chosing between the two. It looks like they are both at 12.95 a month now. I've heard from most people I've talked to that Sirius is the way to go, and that XM is struggling right now as a company. Anyone have any input on this? I've gone through and compared the stations and what not, and they seem pretty deng close. I don't care about sports, I am getting it for the music, and they seem to have similar stations in the categories I like (New Rock/Alternative, Hip Hop, Techno, Reggeaton). Same monthly fees, pretty similar prices on the receivers. Just wondering if anyone with more knowledge of this then me can give me a little input. I'd be getting a portable receiver that I could mount on the windshield of the car.

I would personally get XM, I've always liked them better for no real good reason I guess. Plus, XM is doing much better as a company and has a lot larger listener base which may prove to be beneficial in the long-run.

I'm the only one in my family that doesn't have XM. My bro had it first, then got my mom and dad hooked on it. They all love it. The only reason I don't have it is cuz I don't wanna buy all the stuff for it and pay the subscription fees.

I really like XM, My buddy bought a 06 accord ex and it has that with the factory radio. XM has a pretty nice mix of music and has basically any type or enough of a mix for anything I would ever need or want.

I don't listen to sports on the radio, it's boring to me. Sounds like I'll probably be going with XM. Once I get home I think I'm going to hit up best buy or radio shack and see what they have to say. If they have some sort of deal going on for Sirius, then I'll get that. But if everything is pretty much identical, then I'm thinking XM.

most of the people I know have XM, only because it was bigger, faster. Sirus has really made some great moves to their service and I know that's who I will be going with. The Steath I want to buy comes with an XM setup, it will get ripped out and replaced with a Sirus unit.

A couple of my friends had XM a couple of years ago and both ended their subscriptions rather quickly. They werent to happy with it and I wasnt too impressed when I would listen to it.

This of course was a couple of years ago shortly after it came out so things may have changed. If it were me buying one of those units I would probably go Sirius just because I havent heard any complaints about it from anyone that I know.
