Eddie,
Yes, I really do have Sirius! But I stand corrected. When I first signed
up, their marketing was "100% commercial free." They have since changed
that to "100% commercial free music." Which just means the music channels
are commerical free, but as you said, some of the others run commercials.

I'll second that. I chose Sirius over XM because:
1) XM runs commercials on some channels; Sirius is 100% commercial free

Sounds like you dont really have SIRIUS at all or you would know that
Sirius IS NOT 100% commercial free.... Sirius has MANY channels
that do have commercials...

2) Sirius has NPR and PRI stations, XM does not (or at least did not at
the
time)

Now programing differences is a legit reason to choose one
over the other... I have both XM and Sirius so I dont miss anything...
;-)

To be honest, my biggest reason for getting satellite radio was to
escape
the incessant commercials on FM. Just knowing that XM is not
commercial-free was all I had to hear.

Both XM and Sirius are a big change from old school FM, but you
are wrong about the difference in commercials... Comparing the
two they are about even in the channels with or without commercials,
I believe the music channels on both services are commercial free, but
many other channels are full of commercials....

I got both!
