markb77 -> RE: XM or Sirius? (4/28/2008 9:46:52 PM)

I've had XM for a little over a year now. I really like it - mainly because it beats broadcast/commercial radio by a country mile. I could have gone either way with the services, I just happened to have the right amount of gift cards at a particular big box store which had an XM reciever on sale. If they had had one for Sirius at the same price, I probably would have gone with it, as I had heard Sirius is somewhat better than XM.
I hope and pray that they don't merge (it's illegal by current law, I believe), as the price will probably double or triple if they do - with no competition, they can charge whatever they want.
The station I enjoy most is the "Deep Tracks" classic rock - album tracks instead of the tired old songs that get played 8 times a day on the local stations. There are also some decent jazz, house/techno, country and classical stations as well. I have about 25 or so stations programed on my remote. Can't wait until they bring back the Led Zeppelin channel in the fall. And Bob Dylan's "Theme Time Radio" hour is the best music show on any kind of radio anywhere. It has to be heard to be believed.
