Well, the differences you'll find are Sirious carries a few more channels like Court TV Radio, NBA, NHL, NFL and a few other talk channels. I guess as a result of more channels they compress some of their feeds, so say on some of the talk channels the feeds don't sound as good as XM. Sirious says it is broadcasting with "S Flex technology", whatever that is. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mimi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
