I've been very very happy with XM Radio. I have the XM Roady and love
it. The only drawback is that it doesn't always display the full artist
or song name (it runs out of room). There's a promotion currently going
on that if you buy the roady, you'll get a free home adaptor.

XM also has commercial-free music stations and dedicated stations for
local weather and traffic. Tune in anytime day or night and within 2
minutes, you'll have the weather, and the traffic situation.

You can get a full listing of their stations at http://www.xmradio.com/pdf/new_lineup.pdf

The one thing that I know about Sirius is that they offer streaming of
their stations to subscribers.

Hope this helps
