If I didn't have to buy a bloody monitor, and if I commuted a bit more, I'd definitely go for it. I've heard nothing but good stuff about XM, except for the typical problems with satellite signals. It's on my to do list, that's for sure.

Hmm, my Sirius sure doesn't. That's one of the drags about it as I park my truck in an underground parking garage. It is my understanding that XM and Sirius alike are both purely line-of sight, meaning if you are in a parking structure or under an overpass, you're SOL. Sometimes a thick grove of trees is enough to set mine off. Amazing that your buddy's worked in the garage! I've heard that XM uses ground based repeaters in major metropolitan areas. Any chance there is a repeater in Vegas and that's what you were tuned to? Out here in NH I loose signal all the time just going under a bridge. It's for like 0.5 sec though and you get used to it..

Sirius has repeaters also, and one more satellite than XM which only has two.

I have heard one has some commercials and the other does not.
Can someone tell me which is commercial free?
Also - can someone tell me the monthly charge for each?
This is something I am considering for the car as well as the boat.

Both are commercial free, XM finally saw the light, and both are $9.95 a month.

I thought XM still had comercials on SOME of their channels. I know they have some 'special' channels that you have to pay extra for, like premium channels on cable. Stuff like the "Playboy Channel". Which sounds exceptionally dumb to me BTW!

And Sirius sadly advertises on EVERY channel; they advertise for themselves, as retarded as that may sound! I have been quite disapointed w/ the amount of talk on Sirius. They constantly run ads for themselves encoraging you to re-up your subscription and/or check out 'new' channels. When I signed up I really did think I was going to hear quite nearly talk-free music. Sadly it is not..

..Still, it beats hearing 5-million Geico commercials a day!

Either it doesn't bother me or I don't notice it, but I can't really think of siruis advertising for themselves. I mean they tell you to get your father sirius for fathers day and stuff like that, but overall they don't talk much. Depends on which stream you are on and who the DJ is. The one biatch on alt nation talks way too much about stupid stuff, but the ones on 1st wave don't talk much, a couple of them are very good dj's too.

Now you can listen to my favorite radio program, the Monsters on XM 152. They were the Monsters of the Midday until Clearchannel dropped Stern, then they moved them to mornings.

Yup, I heard that one at least a dozen times! I think my top few presets go The Eighties ( 08 ), Hair Nation (23), Buzzsaw (19), Sirius Blues (29), and Classic Vinyl/Rewind/Vault (14-16). Haven't noticed any one of them that's worse than the rest. As a whole I have very low tolerance for talk though. I think I get it from my GF who channel hops as soon as she hears an ad or an anouncer's voice!

Thought I'd say Hey
I have the Delphi Roady. Havn't noticed any commercials. The trees and bridges don't seem to bother it much.

I personally like the sirius better, i have listened to XM plenty in the company vehicles that are built in. I worl fpr GM so most of our company cars have the option. Sirius is a world apart from XM as far as programming. Just my .02
