Sirius not only has the best programming and the best value, the selection of Sirius radios is also beyond compare; here are just a few of the excellent Sirius Sattelite Radio products:

• Sirius Sportster: Sirius is the place for sports … and the Sirius Sportster was created to maximize the listening experience of the broad sports line-up. This is a really sharp looking piece of kit!
• Sirius Sportster Boombox: with the Sirius Sportster boombox you'll never miss the action! You can take this boombox to the beach, park or tailgate party so you never miss a moment of the pre-game or game excitement
• RadioShack Orbiter SR4000: Exclusive to RadioShack, The Sirius Orbiter SR4000 Receiver is the heart of the Orbiter system. Used with the home or mobile docking station, or the boombox, it can go from home to car to work.
• Sanyo CRSR-10 Plug & Play System: The Sanyo CRSR-10 Plug & Play System includes the receiver, car kit, and home kit for all your satellite radio needs!
• Clarion SIRPNP: The smallest Sirius Sattelite Radio Plug & Play Receiver, yet still providing all the features of its bigger siblings. Very neat.

We think that when you compare Sirius Sattelite Radio to XM Sattelite Radio, then Sirius has far more stylish satellite radios, although your choice of satellite radio provider should probably depend on more than just good looks!

Sirius Sattelite Radio is more than 120 channels of 100% commercial-free music, world-class sports, news, talk and information. Sirius delivers content and quality that AM/FM radio just doesn't have, and can't offer, from original programming to seeing the artist and song that is playing on the display feature. Sirius Sattelite Radio is the hottest thing to happen to radio since Marconi.

Listen to Sirius Radio wherever you are - from your desktop, from your car, in the garden or at the football match … anywhere at all. The Sirius radios are really great, and the radio display gives you more information about what's currently being broadcast than you'll find almost anywhere - artist, track title, etc, etc. Sirius Sattelite Radio is Sattelite Radio at it's best. XM Satellite Radio is the main competitor (or rather, the only competitor) to Sirius Radio but, in our opinion, Sirius wins on every front - from the programming to the show hosts, from the exceptional value to the actual satellite radios themselves. If you're thinking of choosing a satellite radio service then look no further, Sirius Sattelite Radio is it!

Unlike with TV, there are just two contenders in the huge battle for satellite radio supremacy. Sirius Sattelite Radio vs XM Sattelite Radio. To find the satellite radio provider that suits you best, Sirius or XM Satellite Radio, you first need to know that there are many more similarities between Sirius and XM than differences.

• Both Sirius Radio and XM have monthly subcription plans and, although each has pre-paid packages, Sirius is the only one currently to offer lifetime (of radio) subscriptions, which works out extremely reasonably. Otherwise, costs per month are very similar.
• Both Sirius Sattelite Radio and XM have portable tuners, which you can easily move from home to car, etc.
• Both Sirius Sattelite Radio and XM have superb, digital-quality sound, although you should buy orginal satellite radio equipment for best sound, as opposed to modifying an existing radio with an FM Modulator
• Sirius Sattelite Radio and XM Sattelite Radio each broadcast throughout the continental United States via their state-of-the-art satellite systems
• Each has 100% commerical-free music channels, and the number of channels and genres is also very similar. Some non-music channels do have a minimal amount of commercials, but nothing to get worked up about. Compared to regular commercial radio they're effectively commercial-free.


At the end of the day, both Sirius Radio and XM Radio offer compelling products at excellent prices, although at this point in time, in our opinion - having tested both - we favor the Sirius Sattelite Radio. The well-designed Sirius Satellite Radios, sleek and stylish to say the least, also help to tip our scale in Sirius's favor.
