Just curious to know what seems to be the better one out there. I was told that Sirius has better Sound Quality than XM, but XM has better programing (at least for Rock and Rap/Urban stations)

I've installed many of both systems already, but never really sat down and compared them.

I think there just about the same as far as reception goes. It all comes down to what you like to listen to. Like you said XM is better for Rap and Rock but what you need to do is get the programming guide for each and figure out which has more to offer you.

I've Installed both in my area Ohio/Michigan and XM is definitly more popular around this area. Sirius seems to drop signal around our area so most of the ones I actually have installed have been returned within a week. (about 50% come back) But when signal is there they are both very similar.
