I evaluated both companies heavily before I chose XM...The only advantage, IMHO, Sirius has is the NFL...Hopefully, XM will steal that away and Howard Stern's contract will bankrupt the Little Doggy Company and leave XM as the only one standing.
I admit, I don't have a lot of respect for Sirius...They don't even have a portable unit that is capable of picking up live programming "On the Go"...Unlike XM, who has a multitude of portable units...But I digress.
