    To be honest I never change the station from Howard 100. Greatest show in the history of radio.

    XM is carrying the World Cup exclusively. That, and NASCAR and baseball. When the English Premiership kicks off and the NFL season starts, I'll be getting a Sirius.

    ive had both sirius and XM. I have had sirius for 3 years now, and would not go back to XM...though it is great, I think Sirius is better. As for sound quality...they are about the same, and no, it is not perfect, but it is pretty good. I would call it equall to a well used CD

    When everyone says they don't have real crisp quality sound, are you listening through your regular radio or do you have a stereo just for Sirius?

    I have the JVC version of Sirius. I can take out the little Palm Pilot-like Sirius and put it in the jack in my car or in the jack in the Sirius boombox. When it is in the boombox the sound is fantastic! My friends have commented on it as well so it is not just me.

    ok i have XM and i have no problem or difference and i also don't think there is any true way to tell which or what plays clearer.
    Honestly i don't understand the GREAT thing about sirius carrying the NFL it has to be the worst sport to listen to on the radio.baseball is so much easier on the radio and Nhl is also.
    and nascar.....please "he drove in a circle" there is your broadcast. it sucks on tv why would you want it on radio?

    who listens to nfl on the radio? It's one day a week. And sirius has such great units that if you want to listen to a game you can take the great portable unit with you, but you have to download the game after its over. So don't watch the game, listen to it on Monday, AWESOME SIRIUS, or you can jsut go with xm and listen live, the also go into detail about every game every ten minutes, but the game I really care about i'm watching on tv, xm destroys sirius when it comes to sport, I can lsiten to games live at Yankee stadium, or anywhere I want. i can sit at a jets game listen or just look at the xm unit and get a yankee score or any other football highlight, there is no argument, xm wins in sports

    I grew up in New Orleans and am a Saints fan. I now live in California. I listened to 90% of the Saints games with the home town broadcast on the radio last year including pre-season. It was great to be able to listen to the games on the radio. Many people in New Orleans would turn down the sound on the TV and listen to the games through the radio.

    I honestly do not understand how you can say xm wins in sports since Sirius has football, basketball, NHL, and soon, Nascar. While I do agree that baseball is the best to listen to on the radio, just the number of sports Sirius has makes it better than xm in sports.

    well they win because they do have mlb, nhl, nascar, and nba, so thatnks for proving my point, sirius is getting one nascar channel, I dont really care, but xm has 5 channels includind drivers own additional channels, so thanks for proving my point that xm wins in sports, you have nfl

    sirius is the premium content leader of satellite radio. has most popular sports nfl, nba, premium college sports teams alabama, usc, texas, oklahoma,notredame 2 name a few, all ncaa tournament games. xm has mlb, soccer, nhl, some college teams, no ncaa tournament games.

    just depends on your preferences. for example, if u r a miami hurricane and florida marlin fan. u would go with xm. if u r a alabama or saints fan u would go with sirius

    to me it sounds good in my car. It is the same argument as burned CDs. Any tim you compress you will loose some quality. As far as the digital VS analog argument....well, the is no such thing as pure digital anyways....it is all eventually converted to analog. It sounds great....but no, you do not get the same quality as a new CD.
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    Yeah it sounds pretty good in my car as well. The only problem there is that it was kind of hard for me to find a good station to play it through, so there is some static every once in awhile but I am ok with it.

    I am a huge baseball fan but I admit that the NFL is the most popular sport in America so that would give Sirius an edge over XM.

    I listen to the game as it is happening. Um, football is the most popular sport in America period. Just because you don't like to listen to it on the radio does not mean other people don't.

    How funny that you mock Stern for having strippers and your lame signature asks ladies to pm you.

    you dont see the difference between listening to strippers and touching actual girls? and baseball is the most popular sport on the radio so are you proud to have football on the radio if your into the most popular things? and you dont listen to the game live on your portable unit, only xm has that feature

    I'm sure you get a lot of girls with your cool signature and great grasp of grammar.

    What's the point in arguing? Stern alone has left xm in shambles. Guess they should have made him a better offer.

    I cant belive you actually think that xm is in shambles, there are tons of reports how siriius is the one in shambles for giving stern 600 million, and xm should have offered him more? geez your clueless
    heres just one of the many reports to back me up:

    To many entertainment industry insiders, the sheer size of the deal that helped Sirius Satellite Radio lure Howard Stern away from terrestrial radio in January meant that the company's fortunes were forever tied to the shock jock.

    That became exceedingly clear today, when the company reported a wider first-quarter loss despite seeing its revenue nearly triple and surpassing 4.1 million subscribers.

    Sirius reported a loss of $458.5 million, or 33 cents a share, a marked drop from a loss of $193.6 million, or 15 cents a share, in the same period a year ago. Wall Street analysts had been expecting a loss of 36 cents per share, according to a survey from Thomson Financial.

    The loss came largely due to stock-related compensation expenses of $284.6 million, $225 million of which went to Stern and his associates as part of the $600 million deal he signed last year to ditch CBS Radio for Sirius. All companies had to begin recording stock-related compensation this year under new accounting rules.

    The company said stock compensation costs accounted for 20 cents per share of the 33-cent per-share loss.

    The loss came despite what the company touted as huge gains in the quarter. Quarterly revenues nearly tripled, surging to $126.7 million from $43.2 million in the same period a year ago.

    Sirius also nearly tripled its revenue based on strong advertising sales.

    "Sirius generated more advertising revenue in the first quarter than we generated in all of 2005," Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin said in a conference call today. "We are already the advertising revenue leader in satellite radio."

    Karmazin reiterated the company's commitment not to keep its music channels commercial-free, a hallmark of satellite radio.

    Sirius added 761,000 subscribers in the period, enough to raise its end-of-year projections to 6.2 million subscribers. Rival XM Radio concluded the quarter with 6.5 million subscribers and expects to hit 9 million by the end of the year.

    Yeah my sirius sounds good, i wouldn't say outstanding or great but I can really tell the lower quality when someone is singing and says words that start or end with the letter S, do you know what I mean? Thats where I really can tell the lower sound quality.

    like i said b4 xm is cool but sirius is cooler because of premium content. as a die hard bama football fan. roll tide roll!!people do and will listen 2 alabama games on sirius. bama fans are signing up 4 sirius across the country. my friends in cali and texas and florida r subscribing and the main reason?

    they can now listen 2 the snake(kenny stabler) and eli gold pregame, play by play of the game and post game interviews with coach shula and others on sirius in their cars, boats, at the beach and homes. many other loyal fans of sirius premium sports content r turning _on sirius
