It would be hard to give you an answer because it depends a lot in what you're looking for. There used to be a big price difference but there isn't any more. Having both services I find myself listening to Sirius more because I like Jazz, sports and talk. Sirius gives me most of what I need there. I have XM because they carry baseball and the ACC conference in college football and basketball. They also carry two talk channels that Sirius doesn't carry, but the problem I have with XM music is first of all their programming sounds like Clear Channel and secondly Sirius has what I need. As a matter of fact if it weren't for the sports that I can't get on Sirius, XM would be gone.

Subject: Re: Sirius Online Player now has AutocaptchaandweBlindpeoplearelockedout. I haven't really gotten a dfinitive answer as to what service is the best overall. Some people swear that XM is the besrt and there others that say sirious is the way to go. What I do know is that sirious has more commercial free channals. When it comes to receivers I have noticed that XM probably has more of a choice. At present I receive the weekly XM newsletter and that seems to be very accessible with jaws. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Wood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
