Hi Mark,

I was about to send you a temporary password so you can check xm online using my account, but noticed that they have a 3-day online trial, and so does sirius.

Give them both a try and report back what you liked.

Have fun!

Alex
PS: XM has audio quality settings for online, so be sure to set it to high quality, otherwise the sound's a bit crappy.

>I am geting a satellite radio for Christmas and wondering which one. Specifically I am interested in making sure I get all the NHL games. I have been to both sites - http://www.xmradio.com and http://www.sirius.com. Sirius claims to have exclusive rights to broadcast all NHL games live, but I "think" I also see all the games with XM (they only post the schedules and channels for the upcoming month through January in this case). I do like the added bonus of all the NFL and NBA games with Sirius. I could care less about XM having MLB and Sirius not having it since the Texas Rangers always $uck and the only other "little" guy who wins is the Marlins once every 5 years or so after a major rebuilding.
