XM or Sirius Radio?

Can anyone comment on them? Sirius or XM? What's the difference?

If you go with XM, I think you can use the same reciever and subscription
to get WX-Works weather if you eventually get your instrument rating.

Unfortunately, you cannot use the same equipment and subscription for both
XM Radio and WxWorx.

The WxWorx portable receiver, however, will allow you to use a single
antenna for both XM Radio receiver and WxWorx.

For the entertainment factor, I went with Sirius. I just like the
programming a bit better, and I got awesome deals on equipment. I have a
Sirius tuner in my Jeep, and a portable Sirius tuner for use with my home
stereo and in the plane. It REALLY makes a difference on long trips!

I also have the NavAir PPC datalink system using WxWorx. I need two boxes.
Even if I used an XM receiver for the tunes, I would still need two boxes.

There is an effort to build a single box that does both, but it is not on
the market yet.

For the price, however, these systems ROCK! I can't imagine long x-countries
without either, and they will be going with me to OSH...
