Default Satellite radio?

I am thinking about getting one, XM or SIRIUS cant decide? I am leaning towards sirius because they have the Howard Stern show. I am also looking into that new HD radio they have now and its free...I would like to hear what people have to say about all 3. Do they make a deck yet that has HD radio and also XM or Sirius?

I used to have XM back when it was cheaper then Sirius, which is why I got it. Personally I never was a huge fan of it because I preferred the music that was on the radio instead. I'm not about now but they are both pretty similar, it really depends on the type of receiver you want, the costs, and if there are any stations/shows in particular that you want to have.

As for HD Radio, it's great but at least near me there are hardly any HD stations, I believe only a few in the entire state. You also need to buy an HD receiver for your car, but i'm sure you already know that.

And yes they do make car/home receivers that are HD and XM/Sirius ready, but they can be a bit pricey if you want to have both options.

I've tried XM and it's not all that great. I would just stick with normal radio.
