I personally agree i believe Sirius is well worth they wait. I've had both and Sirius fits me better. My sirius is on order and while i wait i'll be using the fm modulator while i wait.

I just spoke with my dealer and they hope Sirius will come out by summer. They are not getting any definite dates. This really sucks as I am dying to have this itegrated in my car. I do not want to use a portable. Anyone else have any better info on a date?

Also...DirecTV offers XM's music channels in the 800s...and Dish Network offers Sirius' Music Channels. You can test them out there.
XM tends to offer deeper music....songs off albums that you may not always know. Sirius tends to stick with the hits.
Some other broad strokes differences....
Sirius has NFL, NBA, Nascar (starting in '07), College Sports, Howard Stern, Elvis Radio, Rolling Stones Radio, Martha Stweart, Maxim Radio, Cosmo Radio, Playboy Radio, NPR...
Here is a LINK to Sirius' exclusive programming...
XM has MLB, NHL, Opie and Anthony, Bob Edwards from NPR, Oprah Winfrey's channel, Ellen Show (tv broadcast), Tyra Banks Show (tv broadcast), College Sports, World Cup Soccer and more...
Feel free to ask me anything about either service. I know a lot about both XM and Sirius.
