Im planning on picking up a receiver but not sure what would be better to go with.
Any suggests or comments from subscribers would be cool. TIA

Depends on what sports you prefer, what type of talk radio, and what type of music you listen to....

XM has been great.

I have found one dead spot in 3 years of owning it.

The one issue I had was corrected very quickly.

Ive been a Sirius customer for a little over 2 years now (i think)

I couldnt be happier... The stations play everything i like, they carry the NFL (GO BUCS!), NCAA Football (GO GATORS!), and quite a few talk and news stations i listen to (CNN, Jay Thomas, Howard Stern this spring)

For me, Sirius, since I am a fanatical Stern fan, and I care more about having the NFL than MLB. Obviously YMMV, but I would never have paid for satellite radio if not for Stern.
