XM vs. Sirius

What is the difference between these providers? I thought one bought the other, but there's still two companies?

Do I need to buy a subscription to XM for an Acura?

I believe Sirius and XM merged. My 2009 tech came with 3 months free XM, then you have to pay about 150/year. Personally I think it's well worth it. Good musical variety, good reception (usually).

Yeah, there's no more us & them, they're one and the same.

Yes they merged.

If you have XM and want some of the Sirius channels (like Howard Stern) you have to pay a few more dollars per month.

And vice versa if you have Sirius.

we have both sirius radio in 2 of our vehicles and xm in the tsx. We still have separate accounts (they did not merge on that) We were able to get sirius at the lower price like xm.

Cool XM and Sirius

I have 2006 TSX with XM; kept up the service; I like it a lot. When XM and Sirius merged, some of my channels changed, got some new ones (from Sirius which replaced some old XM ones).

I would guess if you owned a BMW with Sirius maybe something like this occurred.

Either way well worth the few $$

I just wish satellite radio was able to transmit in cd quality. But I will renew my XM so I can hear Stern.
