XM SUCKS!  Couldn't help myself, just need to disagree with Dan.
Seriously though, I do agree with Dan on the portables. You will get
much more use out of a portable and can move it between airplane, car,
house. If you get a 496 you don't have a choice in service (XM only)
but it's one less thing to clutter the cockpit.
As far as providers goes, I have had both for years. XM for when it
first came out for a couple years and Sirius for about the last two.
The programming is very similar and either would probably be fine for
75% of the people out there. I primarily listen to a lot of
"alternative" type of music and found XM to be very confused when it
comes to programming around that format so I decided to try Sirius. I
find that there is more programming on Sirius that I like but their play
lists are too short so the popular songs end up in very heavy rotation.
Anyone looking at getting satellite radio should try to borrow a friends
for a week and see which they like better. If you have DISH satellite
TV, you have access to almost all the Sirius channels so you can check
it out there. Won't make a difference in a couple years because one
will probably by the other anyway.
