    Can anyone sum up what's the difference now between XM and Sirius? I had Sirius back before Sirius bought out XM and the two merged and at the time there was separate programming. However, looking in the stores now I couldn't find any clear information on whether the two are the same thing now or if there is still a difference that a buyer should be aware of?

    They both have some of the same channels but also have different packages. Sports channels for instance are split up. What they do now is offer (for extra $ of course) the best of series from the other. Like I have a XM with the best of Sirius added and I almost get everything from both. You can do the same the other way around. Hope that helps

    Yep, that answers exactly what I was wondering. Thanks for the info. I liked the line up that Sirius had back when I had it, the road dog channel had some good talk-shows on it. I think there was one called the Lockridge Report, if I remember right it was one of the more informational shows on the air.

    XM: hockey, basketball, golf..
    Sirrius: Foolball, Nascar.

    Most everything else seems to be on both

    Baseball and Football are the only difference that pops out at me. XM has Baseball and Sirus has Football. Sucks, wish it were the other way around :biggrin_255:

    Look it up on the website

    XM has limited coverage because they less satellites than Sirius.

    Sirius has CBC, xm doesn't
