Kuma Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 XM is way better. From my experience XM has much better play lists for their Rock, Rap, Country, Oldies, Kid Stuff, and Seasonal (Christmas stations). Sirius has gone out on a limb and paid Howard Stern way too much money, 0.5 Billion, and put all their eggs in one basket. Howard is over 50 now and, most are saying he is going to have a hard time keeping his Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 XM! Can't beat Squizz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Chalk another one up for XM from me. I have a Pioneer tuner hooked via IP Bus to my Pioneer Head Unit. The sound quality is amazing!! My wife has the Roady two, and the sound is not soo good. It echos a little, and has a slight humming sound to it. I think that's mostly from the FM modulation. You can get a PIE unit to attach any source you want to most any factory stereo. I imagine the sound would be much better that way. I have a Terk Marine antenna attached to th backrack on my truck. The reception with this antenna is unreal. No cutouts, unless I got into a tunnel. Or park under a bridge... Just driving under one doesn't bother it.... O&A I listen to quite a bit. But mostly the music I listen to. Seems XM takes the cake unless you like Stern. I have listened to Sirius, and the music stations don't seem to have it together. It is like listening to FM. It just sucks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotsafeFWD Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 XM! Can't beat Squizz. 467103[/snapback] Excatly. I work at a Retail store where I install Car Audio for a living. I have XM in my car and for good reason. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Stern, but XM just has more to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonShee Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Sirius is better for a few reasons Howard Stern Bubba The Love Sponge http://www.btls.com/ MAXIM RADIO For COVINO & RICH SHOW http://www.covinoandrich.com/ And BOWER SHOW. Plus all the music and other channels 466301[/snapback] Couldnt have said it better myself!!! BTLS is the bomb and Howard just added Danny Bonaduci to his line up as well. Worst part is always switching from Maxim to Howard 100 and 101. As for Maxim, dont forget Evan and Brian, when Evan goes off, it is funnay as hell!!!

Wassup350 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I have sirius hooked up through a kenwood deck and it is awesome!! Sound quality couldnt be better and the only time it cuts out is under overpasses or garages and what not. I havent really listened to stern all that much yet but there are tons of other good stations. Faction is pretty good, bam margara, tony hawk, and lance armstrong all have their own radio shows on that station. I like buzsaw as well it has some good classic hardrock. THere are also canadian stations, korean stations and other neat shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blown alky drag Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 SIRIUS all the way. Maxim Radio, Stern, and Bubba all make my day go alot quicker!!!!! Them dudes are funny!!!! Great music channels also!!! If XM is so much better why is Sirius sold out of stock and when you go to buy one the only thing they can sell you is a Xm, its all that is in stock?????????? You cant get a Sirius setup anywhere right now, I have the sportster in my truck, and I wanted to get a boombox, and nobody in town has one.... Xm might not be in buisness much longer if you ask me..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesw Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Xm might not be in buisness much longer if you ask me..... 470385[/snapback] that beyond funny. lets see xm 6mil subs the doggie company barely 3 mil and they count the units sitting in car dealerships that are not activated. xm stock is like 26 bucks a share, doggie 5 if that. howard stern 500 million dollars. martha stewart 7mill for what a show to make baskets. lets see, xm has 3 portable units that actuallly get a live signal, doggie oh you have to dock it and download it. they call that an ipod. doggie company is going to start putting commericals on to pay for they stuff. you can spend 500 million on a dj that will get you so many subs. not everyone will want to listen to howard.

If you want Stern you've got to go with Sirius if not XM is the way to go. I'm really happy I got sattelite, I hardly listen to the radio anymore but I can live without Stern so I'm glad they got me XM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
