Satellite Radio
Alright, so I'm thinking about getting Satellite Radio, but I'm trying to decide which one I should get. I'm leaning toward Sirius, because my parents got one of the radios as a gift and would be willing to give it to me, and, of course, Howard Stern (god I miss him, haha). Has anyone had any experience with satellite radio? I'd like to hear some opinions from both sides before I commit to anything.

My understanding is it'* all about the programming...
Like the sports are supposed to be better with Sirius ...
I'm far from knowledgeable on it.. that'* MO

Heres one thing to Note about it.
I had it.
"had"
But got rid of it because its like listing to radio over the internet. it has the tinny sound with all highs..
Its not better then radio quality and most of the time not as good as it.
I herd Both XM and Sirius. Both sound the same.
But if your someone that doesn't care about having CD quality in your car.. then go for it

As for dance music, I'm into mostly house, trance, and europop/dance so XM is great for that. Not so great for jungle to be honest. Sounds like between that and Howard Stern, Sirius is probably the better choice for you.

I've got XM and I also have it wired in like Ryan.
IMO with the help of the 7 band with the Bose system,it sounds pretty good to me
I'm mostly into the metal/classic rock so i'm pretty much stuck on 4 or 5 stations
