XM Xtreme makeover ?

I see a lot of ridiculous fluff. The sidebar annoys me. The top menu doesn't let me move my mouse fast enough.

XM is what it is: information. You don't need flash to get information.<P ID="signature">______________

Seeing that I don't have flash installed and block it through my firewall,I like XM's webpage better,the Sirius page is blank for me.

If you want to talk technology, why don't we discuss the actual satellite receivers that each company uses. The webpage is an extension; the receivers are the meat and potatoes.

I think by looking at both headquarters pictures in the past.....Sirius has a nicer parking lot. But that's still not going to make me switch from XM.
 
So what is the scoop? I'm curious.

And what are the chances of getting any increase in bandwith capacity as some nearly all of the channels do not sound as good as they did when I became a member and the traffic and baseball channels are almost unlistenable.

Flash can suck my dick. I hate Flash animated website layouts. When I click a link, I want to go to the page right then and there. Not wait for some stupid animation to finish or load before I can see the information on the page.

I have had XM and now have Sirius. Sirius, to me, blows XM out of the water in every way.

Hmmm, I have both services myself and I find that XM is hands-down superior to Sirius. The rich pageant we call life, on parade for all of us to see! Imagine that.
 
I see the two websites reflecting the different philosophies of the two companies.
Everyone, interpret that as you will.<P ID="signature">______________
