receiver on my RS4 for about $100 when the car comes in. Since Audi has, in their infinite wisdom dropped the XM option I am curious what the general opinion is on any differences between the two. I am inclined to pay the $100 so I can keep my favorites Chrome, Reefer etc...

I have XM currently, and feel that they as market leaders in satellite radio should try to keep ahead. However, I feel that they have done a pretty poor job in doing so. I just feel that sirius is trying to improve, while XM is falling by cutting programming and increasing monthly rates. I will be glad to switch without reservations.

I just heard that Sirius picked up my college sports broadcasts so I may switch. No complaints otherwise re. XM.

I have XM on a portable (for my office and home) and love the programming i.e. Bob Dylan, Tom Petty as DJs, etc. Very kool.

Now I have Sirius in RS4 and have spent time sitting in the driveway listening. I found that Sirius covers all the bases that XM does music-selection wise. I have not reviewed the special programming to see what I might be missing.

Of course, If you are a Howard fan, Sirius is the only choice. Also, NASCAR radio is moving to Sirius, I believe. Bet those two don't show up in the same paragraph much!

Anyway, I would have liked to stick to XM as I could add a radio for little $ to the existing subscription. For now, I have subscription to both. If you have only the XM on the one car, I would not hesitate to switch to sirius.

This point is moot anyway. Press the S button and you wont ever listen to the radio anyway!

also NBA and NHL. XM gives you MLB, if you're more into baseball.

music-wise, they're similar....except XM now plays commercials on their music channels, Sirius doesn't.
