XM Radio vs. Sirius for dance music?

Can someone please help me decide whic satellite radio company I should go with? My gym has XM Radio and they play BPM in the morning which I love to hear while I'm on the tread mill. I know they broadcast some of the essential mixes which is why I'm leaning towards XM but maybe someone can tell me about Sirius and their EDM stations. I'd like to get an opinion before I buy. Thanks guys.

I have XM:

The essential mixes are broadcasted on the Move which is just mixes and techy tracks
BPM plays normaly dance songs but on Thursday-Sunday they have guest DJ mixes which are great mostly house though.
The System is all trance and features TA Vic Dinaire and is the one Im always listening too.

Sirius looks alright but them having Louie Devito & Judge Jules shows is a downer. Although they are getting Radio 1 and they have the Essential Selection shows live

Xm all the way


The Move has so many talented DJ's: D:Fuse, Deepsky, Tom Stephan, Max Graham, Pete Tong

BPM is mainstream dance

The System just announced they well have A State Of Trance with Armin now, that joins Oslo Nights, Zoltar's Subterrenean and my Lost Episode Show

Sirius has some nice shows but not nearly as solid as XM's imo

i have both

i subsribe to xm primarily for the opie and anthony show, BPM channel (dance hits kind of european style)is good but way to repetative, The System channel is good alot of trance-some progressive, both good trance and shitty trance, The Move channel is primarily drum and bass but they do have vics lost episodes which is great show but lots of shows are repeats and they also have alot of deep house shows (jazz-fusion)house with the likes of Frankie knuckles

i have sirius at home because it comes with Dish Network i love trance and the channel Area 33 is by far the best dance channel in America, they also have a channel that plays laid back,ibiza type house music, real cool for 11pm tuesday nite, theres a dance hit channel that is not i as good as XM but they also offer BBC radio1 on channel 11 which plays the Pete tong essential mixes. they have 2 other dance channels as well

My opinion Sirius has the better selection for the EDM fan and they also have on air Dj,s with personality and knowledge (kind of like KTU dj,s playing good EDM) the only thing that sucks about Sirius is Howard i prefer O&A so ill stick with XM

I like both XM and Sirrus Satellite radio


XM - Has a much solid selection EDM than Sirrus. I haven't hgae much listen to Sirrus because everytime I tune I a never hear anything good but this because I work during the day. Once I start my overnites at work I will be tuned in.


Sirrus - They have more channels of EDM but again only 1 dance channel had decent music. I hear XM could be wiped out not only because "The King of Media" Howard Sternnnnnnnnnnn is comin but I hear Oprah Winfrey might be getting signed and I know that this doesn't mean much but I think it sucks.


You would with XM Radio for dance music.

Sirus, Grooveradio International, Darude present Finland, George Acosta Lost World, Gabriel and Dresden show. But, they have BBC Radio 1 live stream from UK. So you can hear Essential/mix/selection, Dance Anthems with Dave Pierce. The Residents with various sets. The only reason why anyone should get XM radio is because of Victor Dinaire's Lost world show. The rest are just so so.....

Howard Stern Sucks....Opie & Anthony own him...XM though I have major problems with mostly with BPM being a cheese show when not having their mix DJs like Chris Cox there. Alan Freed must be 90 years old and he is the PD and has a very bad choice of tunes.

Not really. They are funnier, raunchier(sp) and better. O&A originally came from the Howard extreme radio type but took it to another level. Once you listen to O&A Howard sounds like some old mans radio show.
