It seems that Sirius tries to satisfy as many demands they can, judging by the large range of programs. And having all these benefits, Sirius is a really determined challenger for the XM.
Compared with the XM, the Sirius satellite radio has less quality in sound and the XM’s stereo separation is wider. So, we all hope for improvement.
In terms of contraptions, XM has more technology than Sirius radio. There aren’t any MyFi’s, but instead Sirius has the XACT XTR1 that is a limited transportable version of the MyFi. And Sirius has no turners with TiVo-like features as the equipments supplied by XM. There are corporations like Alpine, Audiovox, Blaupunkt, Clarion, Delphi, Jensen, JVC, Kenwood, Sanyo, and Tivoli that produce Sirius hardware.
