HailSkins81 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I am leaning towards Sirius, because that has the NFL, but looks like XM might have the better talk shows. What sattellite receivers do you have and how are they? Thanks, I am somewhat compulsive about electronics purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I am somewhat compulsive about electronics purchases. Howar Stern is on serious, but I got the XM anyway for baseball season..cause football only comes one once a week and most of it is on tv. I have XM so I would go with XM, but its really up to you which one you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsD Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Definately get Sirius. Great music for all tastes. Eminem has a channel which is great. You also get Stern who has been hilarious. NFL, NHL, and NBA games plus a 24h NFL channel. I couldn't be happier with my radio besides do you really want to listen to those asshats opie and anthony on xm?

HailSkins81 Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 you may have to wait a little bit for Sirius, backorders cuz of the Stern demand!!!!but wait...its worth it!!! I may wait. I want something that can hook up to a boombox with am/fm and cd, and there is one by Xant, but it doesn't get good reviews at all. Sooner or later, a good one will come out.

ChocolateCitySkin Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 If you're a pedestrian go with Xm . Sirius lacks the tech to be outside or a car or house and still get reception. Personally aside from the NFL. Sirius has... Stern? Seriously is you want a real radio sirius doesn't make it. Coz they are ghetto... lagging behind the technology XM has. xm2go best unit! however, some people have mentioned XM broadcasting in 5.1 which I assume world require a home receiver as some sort.

jrockster21 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Dude...Howard Stern is enough for you to go with Serious. Even if you don't listen to him every morning...its cool to know that you can if you want to!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchwood Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Opie and Anthony are soooooo much better the Stern!!! The true reason for XM is for Tony Kornheiser on XM 152 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevhow Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I have XM and the only thing I miss having is the NFL channel. The hardware and music channels are better on XM. IMO. Also, I prefer Opie and Anthony over Stern..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadets08 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 XM. You can take it anywhere, plus it has more stations and more people use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJCrash34 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I have XM and I like it, my Dad has Sirius and loves it. I think they're both good, but Sirius has Stern and the NFL plus XM channels are now offered on AOL so you can listen to them there without subscribing to XM.

Commander PK Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I'm going to get one or the other soon also. I'm still not sure which one to buy myself yet. I'm leaning towards XM because my Sony Headunit in my car is XM ready. I'm not sure Stern and the NFL are enough of a reason for me to get Sirius. We'll see.

The true reason for XM is for Tony Kornheiser on XM 152 Wow, your first sentence is ridiculous, but the second one is even worse! Tony Kornheiser is a douchebag. He knows nothing at all. Well, according to people like you he does, because you don't know enough to know that he just yells about stuff he has no clue about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
