The "Hits 1" channel repeats songs like crazy. I haven't noticed it on the other channels.

I still heart my Sirius though.

Yes; it's annoying.
They haven't returned my email about it yet...
I listen to the two classic rock stations, bluegrass, blues, and the other country stations (in that order) and am constantly needing to flip to avoid the repeats.

The Howard Stern, Playboy, and other trailer-stations are a total waste.

The XM/Sirius debate could go on forever, but I will say that I got XM because I got a good deal on the blitzsafe adapter, and I miss Sirius.

Sirius is way better and has better licensing for sports. Plus they have less edited stations and better music channels...for what I listen to anyway.

XM has licensing for sports. NCAA football, MLB, Hockey
Sirius has NFL

I had Sirius in two vehicles before I bought my Mini, so I knew to avoid it. I think it's really, really bad. At first it was cool. Reminded me of a lot of great music I hadn't heard in a while. After about 6 months, it started to feel like a total waste of $16/month. I cancelled it shortly thereafter. Don't miss it at all.

Maybe I'm just spoiled. Chicago has several great radio stations - not the least of which is The Drive
