Default IMO. . XM. . . . larger, more stable a company. . . and I was told

less problems. Perhaps the market has now changed. . look at the equity of both stocks.
P.S. today, it would be a no-brainer for me.. no interested in supporting garbage mouth.

Default I'm with you Mr. Ricco. I think XM is the more stable platform at present

and Sirius' fortunes will be artifically propped up by the premium some users pay to hear Stern spout his useless vile talk. I'm annoyed XM is following suit with the Opie and Anthony, but it won't have as large an impact on their financials as Stern will for Sirius.

PaulW went with XM, what more do you need to know? What kind of cheese is his favorite?

Default That does it, although with Mr.Ricco and MBD talking XM,

that kinda sealed it!

Default XM vs. Sirius

One thing to consider when you make your decision is that Clear Channel Communications has invested in XM and weilds influence over them much like it does in all of its radio stations. You can do your own research about the effect that Clear Channel has had on the public airwaves (since it is really off topic) and draw your own conclusions.

Default This is a "serious" issue with me in that I do have other issues

with Clear Channel. I know of Clear Channels influence in that Ive already brought suit in federal court on behalf of a local client who has been "wronged" by them! I am being as gentle as possible with my words! I should have done more research into this subject and Im just thankful that this forum brings so much to the table.

Default Both have zero redundency in the sats

If either company has a satalight drop out they have no backup and it's all over.
