Anyone have satellite radio? XM vs. Sirius
« on: November 29, 2006, 10:16:44 PM »
I'm considering getting one, it seems cool, I like to listen to the radio, but too bad I'm split between the two services. For XM I like they have MLB, which is probably my favorite sport on radio - and Sirius has everything else pretty much, including most of the colellege sports I want to listen to. Anyone have either and like them?

I have Sirius and I love it

Stern
Area 33 progressive house/trance good thumping music
80's is hosted by the original mtv V-jays
70's has BARRY WILLIAMS (Greg Brady)
Playboy is good for afternoon advice
I'm not into sports but yes they have everything outside baseball I believe.

Sirius owner. Not crazy about the equipment (Sportster) ... but the service is fantastic.

Great music/sports/talk. I'm a baseball fan too .. but I can hear my Indians on the local radio.

People who taut the NFL as a reason to get satellite radio I have to laugh at.  Any true NFL fan finds a way to get to a game or sit on his ass on Sundays.  I can't see getting it just for the NFL Channel.  HOWEVER, baseball is a different story.  With a game every day for every team, I could see where baseball on the radio would be a good draw.

The plus for Sirrius though would be the Stern channels.  I used to listen to him from way back, so I'm biased obviously, but I haven't heard him much since he got divorced (he got taken off local radio). I've been downloading his show for a month now, and it's amazing.  He has two channels on Sirrius, and has other people come in and host shows to the best of my knowledge.  Andy Dick did a show, for instance.  The satellite format has allowed the show to grow tremendously, about 5 min of commercials per hour, no bleeps. 

The best part for fans is that they air their old bits unedited.  Also, the shows are much longer, with nearly 5 full hours of content a day.  Of course, they are only on four days a week.  Fridays they run classic unedited shows, but they still take all the commercial breaks (albeit with less commercials).  It really highlights the difference between terrestrial shows and satellite shows.

Final opinion, even though I d/l Stern for free, I would consider getting Sirrius just for all their content plus the Stern channels.

Terrible comparison asshat. Cable tv is based in the home allowing you to access it basically at all times. When you pay for radio you're paying for something you only use for a few hours of the day, in your car. Can you listen to Sirius while in the house? Well yeah, but why do that when you can WATCH TV LOL?
