It would appear that Sirius tries to satisfy as many demands they can, judging by the wide variety of programs. Inside them for hours all of these advantages, Sirius is a really determined challenger to the XM.

In terms of gadgets, XM has more technology than Sirius radio. There won't be any MyFi's, but instead Sirius has the XACT XTR1 that is a limited portable version from the MyFi. And Sirius has no turners with TiVo-like features since the equipments provided by XM.
