XM vs. Sirius Status

[HCI]

I just bought my wife a new car and got her a Sirius visor from walmart. I do perfer XM's Ethel, Squizz, Lucy and XM cafe compared to Sirius Octane, Alt Nation, and First Wave. My wife does not care because she just likes top 40 anyway.

I have heard that people like Sirius better than XM and I honestly cannot understand why. I honestly would take XM any time rather than Sirius. I just think that the sound quality and content are a lot better with XM.

Well another Sirius win for Dance music. Here are the results to date. I will be out of town next weekend. So the results of the next poll will be delayed.

Geronimo,

Thanks for all your efforts on these genre polls. You are doing a fine service for our little community here at Satelliteguys.us. It is obvious to me satellite radio is making an ever increasing impact in more and more people's live's. Terrestrial radio seems to be getting more and more concerned as satellite radio increases its awareness to the general public. I found this presentation by the Rasio Research Association of America sponspred by the NAB very interesting and worth the time to view it.

OK i just got in from a trip to my family in NE. So the penultimate poll on Customer service closed a few hours ago without notice. But here are the results to date.


BTW we are starting our final poll on Customers Service. This is your chance to say what you want about customer service from either or both providers.
