About Sirius Satalite Radio: •

Every second of the day, Sirius is blasting over 120 channels of incredible radio straight into the sky to their three state-of-the-art satellites. Every Sirius channel of satellite radio - over 120 of them - is available throughout the continental US with crisp digital-quality sound which you'll just not find anywhere else.
Sirius not only has the best programming and the best value, the selection of Sirius radios is also beyond compare; here are just a few of the excellent
Sirius Satalite Radio products:

- RadioShack Orbiter SR4000: Exclusive to RadioShack, The Sirius Orbiter SR4000 Receiver is the heart of the Orbiter system. Used with the home or mobile docking station, or the boombox, it can go from home to car to work.

We think that when you compare Sirius Satalite Radio to XM Satalite Radio, then Sirius has far more stylish satellite radios, although your choice of satellite radio provider should probably depend on more than just good looks!
Unlike with TV, there are just two contenders in the huge battle for satellite radio supremacy.
Sirius Satalite Radio vs XM Satalite Radio. To find the satellite radio provider that suits you best, Sirius or XM Satellite Radio, you first need to know that there are many more similarities between Sirius and XM than differences.
• Both Sirius Radio and XM have monthly subcription plans and, although each has pre-paid packages, Sirius is the only one currently to offer lifetime (of radio) subscriptions, which works out extremely reasonably. Otherwise, costs per month are very similar.
• Both Sirius Satalite Radio and XM have portable tuners, which you can easily move from home to car, etc.
• Both Sirius Satalite Radio and XM have superb, digital-quality sound, although you should buy orginal satellite radio equipment for best sound, as opposed to modifying an existing radio with an FM Modulator
• Sirius Satalite Radio and XM Satalite Radio each broadcast throughout the continental United States via their state-of-the-art satellite systems
• Each has 100% commerical-free music channels, and the number of channels and genres is also very similar. Some non-music channels do have a minimal amount of commercials, but nothing to get worked up about. Compared to regular commercial radio they're effectively commercial-free.
At the end of the day, both Sirius Radio and XM Radio offer compelling products at excellent prices, although at this point in time, in our opinion - having tested both - we favor the
Sirius Satalite Radio. The well-designed Sirius Satellite Radios, sleek and stylish to say the least, also help to tip our scale in Sirius's favor.
