I think I know what you mean. Earlier in the year they had lots of XM commercials. Like for the particular station. It's pretty much gone now.
On the Top Hits, lighter rock, and top country type stations there is a lot of repetition.
On the stuff I like to listen to I almost never hear the same song twice. But I tend to hit up either the more punk/metal stations or decade stations..
I can't wait to work with the Sirius stuff to see which one I prefer. I also heard from my buddy who is a truck driver that many of them prefer Sirius... That may be saying something since they spend so much time listening.

What if you...
1) don't care about stern or opie and anthony
2) have a portable unit so you don't need to listen via the internet
3) would rather WATCH **** than listen to it. (who the hell listens to **** anyway?)
4) are more of a fan of NASCAR, MLB, or college football than NFL
Then I think XM wins. Too bad their portable units don't appeal to me. I'm going SIRIUS, but would have preferred XM for their offerings and price...

Except that I'm only about 4 inches or what ever the distance of that rigid portion is from the 3rd brake light. Oh, I also have the antenna cable dress into the headliner and over to the plastic panel on the passenger side.
Sirius is head and shoulders over XM IMO. I had XM in a rental car a few years back and only manged to find 3 or so channels that I enjoyed. As for Sirius, there's too many to keep track of so I just listen to what I managed to preset.
