    Which one do you prefer?

    Also - do either one have the mystery type shows? You know, like the old radio shows. There used to be an AM station in northern CA that had them on at night back in the mid seventies. Just love that stuff...

    I think they ARE still merging, they are awaiting the approval from the SS (oops) I mean the Feds.

    Get either one because all the programming will all be the same a little way down the road.
    I have Sirrus and it is good. The costs are the same for the monthly subscription on both the last time I checked.

    Well I have XM and they have 2 channels for old time radio shows. I think its 164 and 165 or right in that area. As far as I know the merger is awaiting for FCC approval. The good thing about Sat Radio is it covers 99% of the USA and you won't have to change channels unless you want to. The only time one won't get a signal is if your in a tunnel or a deep valley like in So. Oregon and then for only as long as the Sat Antennea can't see the Sat. That is the only bad I've had with my radio so far.

    I've had both. If you like music Serius is better. If you like talk radio, XM is better. But both are good, and both have good music and talk radio, better than normal radio.

    For example, if you like 80's music, the XM 80's channel will play an AC/DC song and then a Wham! song. Makes no sense. Serious has programing that is more consistant. But XM is still Good.

    I agree with MXH. For Talk Radio I prefer XM, but their music station seem to repeat the same songs over and over. I believe Sirius to have the better music channels. They also have Nascar. I don't care about Nascar or Howard Stern, but love the talk stations so I have XM.
