No way won't happen, Sirius had a loss because of the intial payments for its contracts and contractors (i.e. the NFL, Baseball, Basketball, DJ's). They are also doing upgrades, this cost cashola'. No, the new CEO they have (can't think of his name) has never lost at any company. He is known for running in the black and for getting rid of the red.
I love my Sirius, can't use it enough, the NFL and Raw Dog comedy are my favorites. Oh and Stern is going to be on Sirius 85F250XLT.

I guess i'm kinda fortunate.The company I lease my rig to pays for XM and i pay for Sirius so with about 250 channels I usually can find something worth listening to.If I could only have one I would go with XM.

I have XM set up for my car and the cradle for in the house, I have sirius on my satilite TV. I dont notice to much of a differance, each has its share of good and bad. I think the best thing is XM is alot cheaper per month, $9.99 compared to $14.99 so to me it makes a differance. When you figure $60 per year differance it does add up. And I like XM's recievers alot better. So as you guys say it is just a preferance.

The only time I've had trouble recieving a signal on my XM has been in the mountains. The mountain was hanging over my truck and blocking the signal. Never have a problem with reception other than when view to SW is blocked by a large object. Have a stubby antenna mounted on top bar of left hand west coast mirror on 379 Pete.
Just bought wife an XM boombox, reciever, and car kit off E-bay for $162, all brand new in box. Can't wait for it to get here, maybe she'll get off my case!!
