I'm looking into satellite radio, to use both at home and in the car. I listen mostly to alternative music and football games. Should I go with XM or Sirius?

I would love to subscribe to satellite radio and plan to later this year, once taxes have been paid. I have listened to satellite radio actually at car dealerships and was pretty impressed with the variety of radio stations.

As a massive fan of 70's and 80's pop I have a one word review:
Awful!
Here's Why:
The stations have a playlist that feels like hundred songs. I have heard the same songs 5 times each every time I am in the car with someone who has it.
and 2, they still are compressing every single bit of fidelity out the signal and by my ears worse than FM station HAVE TO because of technical limitations.
I would stick with your local Fred FM format. They offer a much much larger playlist at the expense of being of being decade specific.
XM/Sirius:
3/10 for programming.
2/10 for quality.
Run away. Don't buy the hype.

I have never had satellite radio, so I must ask these beginner questions... I believe it was more expensive when it started out, but I don't know the current price. Would I pay more than $10 a month?
A concern I had Adveser, was that if I found a station that played the genre I enjoyed, would there be enough variety to keep me entertained? Sounds like that may not be the case.
Even though commercial-free radio is inviting, I'm not convinced it is worth the money unless it is cheap. Now that there is only 1 satellite radio vendor, I wonder if there will be any change in the product offerings in the near future? Sounds like we needed the competition XM just bought up.

I think you would like it for a month or two and once the playlist wore thin, you'd be tired of it.
I think you can listen to their stations online, if you know someone that is a subscriber, talk them into letting you use their credentials to check it out.

XM seems much more popular to me. I know that doesn't make it better but I've heard so many good things from people I know that have it. With Sirius, people (at least that I know) don't seem to like it as much.
