How Does Internet Radio Stack Up Against Satellite?

Play: I believe that in the merger agreement approved by the FCC Sirius and XM must maintain seperate platforms until 2015, at which point I believe the useful life of the old XM radios will be over and then they can fully combine their platforms into one true service. Thank our government for this nonsense.

That said, on a personal note I have Seven Sirius radios and now two XM radios with best of content. For the life of me I can't make sense of the channel lineup at XM! Its as if someone threw all the channels into a hat and picked a couple at a time and grouped them together. It just doesn't flow. Rock and soft rock are mixed together, between Channels 40 and 60 with no flow, and unless its preprogrammed its hard to reach back and get to the decades channels, Howard is thankfully at 100 and 101 but the rest of their talk channels are scattered up the dial, with sports in between. It makes nosense to me. Sirius has a flow that is nicer, from the decades channels up to the rock stations into other music venues right to Howard 100. I wish that XM could re arrange the line up to mirror Sirius and I would love to know why they didn't if they could. Anyone know?
