Sirius or XM Radio

[RoadRunner]

Anyone subscribe to Sirius satellite radio? If so, what's your opinion of it and how well does it work in wooded areas and on lakes in Northern MN (particularly Lake of the Woods). I'm thinking it might be the ticket for camping trips to and ice fishing in remote areas without much for radio stations.

Thanks

I have XM in my truck and have never not gotten good reception, including at my cabin in northern MN.

I have both Sirius and XM, and yes they ROCK on LOW and anywhere you can see the sky, sounds like Perch has a antenna problem, generally you can find a signal just about anywhere.

I would get a PNP "mobile" unit that way you can use it in your car, home,boat or Satellite radio Boombox , I use the boombox for Ice fishing it's awesome.

I also prefer Sirius over XM I think their overall line up is a little better, but their both GREAT and blow FM radio out of the water.

Sorry Pierbridge, I do not have an antenna problem. I said "I have never NOT gotten good reception"

I just got XM and love it. Works great up north or anywhere I have been so far. I use it in my boat, Truck, and home. Heck, I have to fight the wife for the receiver. She is hooked too.

I'd vote for Sirius. They have the NFL, and in my opinion, better music programming. If baseball is your ticket, XM is the way to go. Sirius also has some good long term commitment offers too . . . (I imagine XM does as well).

I've had XM for 3 years now and wouldn't think of changing...

Thanks for the information, everyone. I think I've decided on Sirius (Seriously, har har).

It'll be great to be able to listen to the Vikes beat up on the Packers while I'm out on the lake this winter. It would have been nice to have in camp this past weekend in Ontario. Not much selection in the radio stations up there. It also sounds like they'll be carrying Nascar starting in 2007 as well.

Shoremunch hit it right on the head! I have XM in one vehicle and it's got some decent stations as does Sirius, which I have in another vehicle... but in the end Sirius wins out because it has the NFL package which is great on those fall days for the drive home from up north hunting expeditions.

Ahhh the big debate. I went through this several weeks ago, and ended up with XM. Lineup was a factor, but so was device quality. Ended up with XM to get the Twins, although it came as a sacrifice to the Vikes and NPR. Still wonder if I made the right choice, but you CANNOT beat XM72.
