I was looking at Sirius for my sister for Christmas. After consulting Best Buy, here's what I found out:

Sirius sponsors a wide variety of music stations, including country, rap, oldies, and alternative. Howard Stern is now on Sirius (not sure if that's a plus or minus for you)

XM sponsors a lot of sports and talk radio programs.

All the people I've talked to really like Sirius. But one more piece of advice: don't purchase the lifetime warranty. The warranties attach to the hardware, not the service. So, if your receiver breaks the day after you buy it, your lifetime warranty is gone.

I have Sirius and love it due to Maxim Radio, several NCAA schools play their Football and B-Ball games live, they have the NFL and NBA.

Music Stations have a wide variety and the comedy stations are awesome.

Plus NFL Radio. biggrin.gif

If you are baseball junkie, you want XM no need to look further.

If you want NFL games, you want Sirius.

There are a few Sun Belt games on Sirius.

If those aren't factors in your decision, it really comes down to what hardware you like and which contract you prefer.

XM is owned by Clear Channel. ph34r.gif

Reason #1 I asked and got it for last year's xmas.

Sirius hands down, and I'm a big baseball fan, but minus Houston I don't care enough to watch/listen to many other games. Sirius also has a Rolling Stones and Bruce Springstein Channel as well.

My whole family (the male portions at least) is gettign Sirius from me this X-Mas... I got a heck of a deal on the portable receivers at Sears - $30 for the whole kit and no rebates to mess with. It was such a good deal I got one for my dad, brother, and brother-in-law... and my fiance' got one for me! Howard Stern was the deciding factor for us, but the NFL games along with the Sun Belt package were big factors as well.

I chose Sirius about a year ago and have really enjoyed the programming. Personally I think you should chose the one that offers more of what you like outside of music. XM and Sirius have a great music selection (as with the radio). I went with Sirius because I liked their talk radio selection better, they have NPR, I am ok with missing a baseball game but not my football game, and great business channels.

My advice if you go with Sirius is to stay away from the Sportster reciever. I have had some problems with it as well as a couple of my friends. The connections on the back of the reciever for the antenna and transmitter both have a tendency to be intermittent.

Peace

Happy Holidays

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
