Review: Sirius, XM...nice products, but they'll never be profitable. With the advent of commercial-free radio in cell phones, followed by nationwide radio on WiMax, they'll be doomed. I guess that why all the Sirius insiders are selling their shares -- 50 million in the last 6 months. Trying to cash in while they can. Funny...it's exactly opposite what they're saying in their PR channels.

Review: Hmm, let's see. Clunky, chunky radios, a revolving door of who-cares celebrities blathering on about nothing that matters, and an aging, talentless hack and his PC sidekick spouting sycophantic effluvia? Yeah, sure, sign me up. XM will eat Mel Karmazin's lunch.

Review: Finally someone has mentioned the Canadian market. Interesting to note that Sirius has the lead over XM with both being introduced at pretty much the same time. You could say it was the Stern effect, but Sirius only decided to include him in Canada a couple months after their debut, originally they were not going to broadcast Stern in Canada.

Review: Just bought a Nissan Altima (loaded) and it included a radio (Bose) equipped to receive satellite radio. Was given 3 free months of SIRI. So...I was going to sign up for a 3 year contract. My SatRadio can receive either SIRI or XMSR. Both charge identical for 1 year and 2 year contract but SIRI is about $60 more for 3 year. I talked to Siri, and was told that with xmsr when they add stations I would have to pay more for these while siri gives all stations at no added charge. Right now I am in my 3 free months; will decide which to go with then. Any advice?

Review: There seems to be no warrant to Sirius' continued decline in share value. Siri has far lower suscriber acquisition costs and rising suscriber rates. With any new business there are many expenses such as the inking of Stern and other talent. I believe that Siri will continued decline into Q2 and XMSR will be exposed for its poor management. I believe many analysts don't know enough about the industry to suggest buys for SIRI at this point (but I feel this is a very strong buy) based on its technicals but once its P/E starts to turn the other direction in Q3 and Q4 it has no where to go but WAY up.

Review: texaslawyer is on the money. The CBS suit lacks legal merit and appears publicity driven. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends with a quick settlement in which Sirius/Stern agree not to defame/comment upon CBS in the future. Investors shouldn't worry.

Review: Your ads and popups are covering the text of your story and some of the ads like the Xerox ad can't be closed. the only way to read the article is to select the printer friendly version. I think the article is more important then the ads, maybe you guys see it differently.

Review: Sirius has added Hispanic sports, which will be huge in subs, Stern will continue to add subs as time progresses, Nascar subs will be in my opinion almost unbelievable. Most people in the South work 6-7 days a week outside in my line of work and aren't sitting around the house watching the television. They are out on the job and are all trying to find their sports with clear reception.

Review: What a refreshing and well-written article. I don't think I've seen such in the 3 years I've been following satellite radio. Kudos to you.

Review: Insightful article that lists both the strengths and weaknesses. I don't see this as a competition between XM or SIRI but rather about mass consumer acceptance of the satellite radio concept. Once it happens, both companies and their long-term investors will benefit.
