XM or Sirius?  First thing's first. XM and Sirius are based on the same principle, each of them providing music, news, sports, etc. on their channels, but, every service has its ups and downs so we will try to discuss it in this present article. A careful analysis shows that XM Satellite Radio provides a total of 136 streams, where two are premium channels (Playboy and High Voltage), twenty-one are traffic and weather based channels and nine are sport-dedicated ones. On the other hand, Sirius offers a total of 119 streams, the premium streams not being available. Let's take a closer look now on two - music and news - of the categories that the two major satellites are battling.   
  Music streams comparison   
  The number of music streams that both services offer is pretty much the same: 65 on Sirius and 68 on XM Satellite Radio but the difference is not in the number, but in the music genres that the radios offer.   
  Music - Decades   
  XM is the absolute champion in providing the music by decades because you can listen to the 40's music, service not available on Sirius. Still, you can listen to the 90's hits together with the current hits on Sirius Satellite Radio, which is an interesting feature.   
  Music - Country   
  "Ride' em cowboy!". Even if you're not a cowboy, you can listen to country-related songs on both Satellites. Classic country or country hits are to be heard as well as alternative country or country mixes,You are not allowed to view links.

Regarding the number of streams that both Satellites offer, XM offers a total of five streams and Sirius offers four, the champion in this category being XM due to the quality and the quantity of music being played.   
  Music - Rock   
  If you are looking for sex, drogs, and rock and roll, Sirius and XM Satellite Radios can only offer you rock and roll, on a number of 14 streams on XM and 15 streams on Sirius. The rock subgenres are to be found in a large number on the stations,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, overall each service being very strong in this category.
