I added the best of XM to my 2006 Scion xB dealer installed OEM. For me it was all about the NFL. I would love to know the stats in regards to how many actually have added the Best of Sirius to their XM radio vs how many added the Best of XM to their Sirius radio?

When you look at the packages below, it would appear that the XM'ers are coming out much better with the Best of Sirius Package.

Best of XM: Oprah & Friends®, NBA and NHL games, the 24/7 NHL Home Ice® channel, The PGA TOUR Network, Opie & Anthony, XM Public Radio.

Best of Sirius: NFL play-by-play, two full-time Howard Stern channels, NASCAR® races and shows, as well as Playboy Radio and Martha Stewart Living Radio.

Have any of you added one of these Best of Packages? Did you save any money by being able to cancel a sub?

I really wanted to add the best of XM, but no MLB sealed the deal for me.

I think this was because MLB wanted Sirius to pay them more money to add it in this way. MLB strikes me as being a greedy bunch!

Well I am basically paying that for NFL, so I understand! I sure and hell didn't get the Best of Sirius for Marth Stewart! hehehe I wish they would have replaced her with Doctor Radio. That is one channel I really enjoy listening too. You can learn some stuff on there.

I was actually thinking of getting XM (again) and then get the best of Sirius. Still debating it for now. I would miss some Sirius channels.

My brother would get best of Sirius but they don't offer Margaritaville. I guess that is because of the licensing issue? I would think that this would be offered before Martha or Playboy.

I think due to the fact that at some point many of the channels on both service will be the same when they start multi-casting. Maybe XM will get Margaritaville.

Right now nothing is really that great of interest to me that on the Best of XM, except for possibly NHL, but I don't see myself catching the games that way. So for now I'll hold off.

Maybe when the inter-operable radios come out I'll pick one of those up, I heard a few channels that were pretty good when I've rented cars in the past with XM.

People seem to like that Cinemagic channel on XM a lot.
