XM or Sirius. Anyone have experience with both?

[IndianaJones]

Which would you suggest to a satellite radio newb?

1. IIRC they may be merging, so it is a moot point.

I have XM and love it. I live outside of the market of my favorite MLB team so it is worth it for me to have XM.

I know Sirius has Howard Stern and the NFL.

3. Yes, the NFL coverage is what I'd like from Sirius

But I often watch the games I'm most interested in.

2. I'm happy with XM

Plenty of music stations, Air America, and Coast To Coast AM are there.

4. I quit XM because they raised prices and reduced the channels that interested me.

If I listened to a particular channel for an extended period of time I noticed that programming was being recycled. (i.e. the same songs in the same order)

My experience with trying to cancel my subscription was similar to AOL.

First you were lucky if you could even contact anyone about canceling. Then they won't actually do it. What they do is keep asking you WHY you want to cancel. I finally told the customer service huckster that it didn't matter why because I was changing my credit card #.
