Default Comparison Chart - Sirius vs XM

So luckily these days when I'm talking about satellite radio, instead of people going "why would I pay for radio?" or "what's that?" it's now "ooh, i'm interested, but which service should I get?"

Well, it's been said on here many a time that it all just depends on what you're looking for. So, I'm compiling a side-by-side comparison so they can easily decide which has what they want. I've posted the work-in-progress here: http://ub3r1337.dhs.org/xm/Sat-Radio%20Comparison.htm and am just looking for some feedback. Stuff like what i'm missing, what I screwed up, what to put where I've left question marks, etc.

I'm not a subscriber to Sirius so that part DEFINITELY is going to need some scrutinization. Thanks in advance for all your help!

There was a thread about it awhile back. It was ok, but some of the comparisons were weird, such as comparing Jam Central to XMU. If you want help from the Sirius side, I can help with many, but not all, channels. AIM me at c152atn67 if you need help.

Here is the old thread: http://www.siriusbackstage.com/forum...opic.php?t=701

Looking quickly at your list I see a couple things in R&B that dont match up... Sirius 53 Soul Revue does not match up with XM 64 The Groove. SoulRevue plays classic soul of the 60s and 70s, The Groove plays late 70s to early 90s R&B hits. A better comparison would be Soul Revue and XM's Soul Street-they are very similar. Soul Street is the same type of genre and era. Then, you list Sirius having 50, 51 and 52 as R&B streams, you needed to add 53 Heart& Soul. On the XM side you need to have 60 Soul Street, 61 The Flow, Suite 62 and 64 The Groove. I'll check further on the rest of the choices and post then.
