    I'm planning on getting satellite radio but can't decide whether to get xm or sirius. Anybody have any insight?

    sirius is more expensive by about three dollars a month. And they boast that it's commercial free, but it's just all music. Like a playlist. No live people, ever. no events, nothing... It kinda gets old fast. XM has better channels, too.

    I really like xm. I haven't checked out sirius though. The only time i have lost signal with xm was when i was in downtown chicago, but as soon as I cleared the buildings it came right back. There are commercials on xm but no where near the amount that you hear on regular broadcast radio. I think i hear maybe 1 or 2 commercials every couple of hours.

    As much as I hate when djs drone on, I do enjoy a little talk now and then on the radio.
