The satellite radio customers are like members of a political party: they’re loyal, and are happy to argue over why their company is better than the other company, and why the other company stinks.
In satellite radio, there are only two horses in the race: XM and Sirius. And since there are only two, the companies are forced to differentiate themselves since they are selling essentially the same product/service. But instead of the companies, the listeners are the ones that are campaigning for their satellite radio provider.
I’ve definitely been guilty of this. I’m a very happy XM Radio customer. I have friends that have subscribed to Sirius, and I often find myself arguing with them about why Sirius is inferior to XM. When I listen to Opie and Anthony and hear clips of Howard Stern trying to slam XM, it’s like hearing a presidential candidate telling lies about the guy I’m going to vote for.

"When attached to a home dock, car dock or executive docking
station, the SIRIUS S50 provides easy access to live content, and captures and
stores both scheduled and unscheduled SIRIUS programming. This feature allows
users to listen to SIRIUS' unique programming anywhere."
Seems pretty obvious that you use the dock to record the stations you want, then re-play them (i.e. NOT live) on the player. And to anyone claiming I'm and 'XM fanboy' for saying this: I live in the UK, I couldn't care less about satellite redio.

I'm an electrical engineer. I don't expect most of you to understand, but a truly portable satellite receiver is cost-prohibited, it can't be done. Let me explain. Satellite signals require a direct line-of-site path to the receiver. That's why DirecTV dishes are fixed and pointed in one direction. With a portable sat radio, you're walking all over the place, inside buildings, around buildings, etc., etc., it would require an infinite amount of satellite signal repeaters allover cities and inside buildings, costing 100's of millions. FM, Frequency Modulated, radio signals bounce around everywhere outside and inside buildings, that's why you can have a walkman FM radio. This is just not possible with satellite radio. XM has one, but 37% get returned because the owner's use-model(where he uses it and where he travels to with it on his daily routine) does not fit the requirements for walkman-like satellite radio. That's why today XM introduced a device just like the s-50, they know that the MyFi was a failure because of the technical limitations beyond their control. Retailers hate high-return products like XM's MyFi. I hope I've shared some light on this subject. The fact is that this type of MP3 recorder is the best solution if you don't want constant signal drop-out. It's just the way it is with satellite signals. Period. End of story. Those of you waiting for the perfect "live" portable satellite radio will be waiting forever. Just like we all know people who have been waiting for the fastest, lowest-price computers for the last 25 years.
