Satellite radio

Thinking about getting a satellite radio, as far as I am aware there is just Sirius and XM but I guess there could be others. Anybody have enough experience with either to say which one may have better coverage? How about which might have better programming?

I have recently purchased a Sirius radio. I live in the mountains in the bottom of a canyon up in NE Oregon. I get great reception and do not loose the feed. Part of my decision was that sirius is suppose to have 3 sat's up and XM only has one. Most of the truckers I talk to say that the Sirius does a little better than XM for not loosing the feed. Just my 2 cents worth.

I have XM in my pickup, van and home on my computer. I've had them for 2 years and love it. It has followed me from state to state on the same station, Watercolors, Jazz. It also has Bill Mack on the country station OPEN ROAD.

XM actually has 2 satellites now, an east and a west bird, named Rock and Roll respectively. Either service is excellent in my opinion. All have good coverage.

looks like its six of one and half a dozen of the other as my Dad used to say. My wife went ahead and bought the Sirius version so hopefully they have good programming. Thanks

One BIG difference.
With Sirius, you get WSM live, which means you get the Grand Ole Opry & Midnight Jamboree with NO static.
