The biggest difference is the programming offered by each service. XM offers 68 commercial-free music channels, 33 channels of news, sports, talk and entertainment, and 21 dedicated channels of instant traffic and weather, all for just $9.99 a month. SIRIUS offers over 65 channels of 100% commercial-free music and more than 50 channels of news, entertainment, weather and sports, including the NFL for only $12.95 a month. The type of hardware you want to buy also may affect your decision. Car stereos and portable satellite receivers are compatible with either one service or the other. Alpine, Delphi, Pioneer and Sony are compatible with XM, while Audiovox, Panasonic and JVC work with SIRIUS.
