I bought a Sirius car receiver unit for my wife as a Christmas present, I have not installed it yet. I didn't do much research, (could be a mistake) so my question is, can I subscibe to XM or do I have to sitck with Sirius since I bought that brand?

You would have to subscribe to Sirius with that unit. No one makes a unit yet that can get both.
Sirius is the better one of the providers based on programming and their growth potential in the next couple of years. Sirius also has the majority of major sporting events minus MLB and NASCAR.

Thanks for the advice. I was at my brother in law's and he had Sirius and I liked the way they had the music sub categories such as three eras of classics rock. I thought I had made the right choice, just needed someone to tell me that I did. Thanks again.

Thanks for the support, you guys really know how to make a guy look smarter than he is.
When I get it installed I will bombard you guys with tons of questions.

Wait 'til I try to install it. One of the reasons I got the 4DTV was to get the music services, the OTA radio stations in my area are terrible. I also have hooked up with some internet stations that are great. CFMI out of Vancouver, BC is premium classic rock. They were on C band for years then they went internet, I am now listening to them again. You are right, once I got the satellite services I never listen to OTA radio. I am into blues, classic rock, classic country and classical, how do you rate the Sirius services?
I rate them highly!!
You will like Classic Vinyl, Classic Rewind, Buzzsaw for your classic rock fix.
I don't listen much to Blues (though I do like Stevie Ray Vaughn) but I know Sirius does have some good Blues channels.
My wife likes the Classical stations. Sirius also has a Classic Country channel.

Everything comes from the blues. The mystical 3 chords has lead to some of the the greatest rock, country and rock-a-billy ever recorded. Eddie Van Halen once told Billy Gibbons "If you ever find the 4th chord, call me." Eddie is still waiting.
Sorry for the guitar jargon, it's in the blood.
Hi guys,
I finally got around to getting my Sirius up and running and I am quite impressed. Rode to work the first morning listening to King Crimson's "In The Court Of The Crimson King." I haven't heard that classic on the radio in 35 years.
My question is, is their anyplace to find their sports broadcast schedules?

I personally prefer XM. I'm not a fan of Stern so that doesn't interest me. The only reason I'd go with Sirius is to get the NFL.

I am not either. I checked out Sirius on my brother in laws DISH system and I like the way they have their categories broke down into sub categories such as classic rock into the vault, vinyl and rewind.
