No desire to change from XM. If the Howard gig is why then that is one thing, but Opie and Anthony blew him away on reg radio and continue to do so on Satellite...

That's obviously what Sirius was banking on......and so far their subscriptions have increased tremendously. A local radio shop I do biz with said the switch over has been crazy...It used to be only XM was asked for, now he says Sirius is the only one people want...go figure.
I already had Sirius but I'm not a Howard fan by any means...haven't even listened to him yet.
Wife has XM in her car---I like it too but I think I prefer Sirius's selection and setup a little better.
Sirius is an option in our BMW's and XM is the option in our SAAB's.....

I bought the xact sirius unit and put it in the truck last night.
It had a lot of static though, maybe I need to move the antanna.
I had XM for the last 2 and a half years.
I am a huge Howard fan and cancelled to follow him. XM was good for listening the ball games on play by play, but otherwise, they are really similar

I've got Sirrius in my truck, nothing in my company truck and XM in my boat. Howard aside (haven't heard any of his shows this week), I'd pick Sirius as I think they play a much better variety of music. They only repeat the same songs every 6 plays, versus about every 3 or 4 on the popular songs on XM. Haven't been impressed with XM. Spent more time playing the changer as it had much more variety.

The two satellite companies need to merge. XM's dance stations are much better than Sirius', especially the Move. I have always listened to Howard though and borrowed my friends unit to check it out. Mornings aren't the same. George Taki is a riot and a great sport! Now the question is, do I need two subscriptions? :D

I've had Sirius for over three years and hooked the XM up in the new truck from Jay. I prefer Sirius, but XM is still better than any terrestrial radio. I was a luke warm Howard fan, listening occaisonally, Mon and Tues his shows were very cool. I was cracking up in my car, listened all the way in to work. Music puts me to sleep at 4am so it was usually radio classics, but I may have found a new favorite.

They are a duo that was out of Philly at one point. They got kicked off of the radio there because of a contest where couples had sex in public places. The couple that got them kicked off of the radio were having anal at St. Peters Cathedral.....
Jimmy Norton is their comedian sidekick. XM channel 202...

Howard is about as overrated as Tom Lykos,
Glad he is gone, now we can get some new life on the radio....

Got to agree, George Taki is nothing what I thought he would be and he is taking the show pretty good. Many people can say that Howard is over rated, but his ratings have always shown that is the most popular. :D
