Satellite Radio in CanadaDigital Home Canada put together a comparison between XM Canada and SIRIUS Canada, declaring winners in different characters. Here's the final breakdown:

Station Selection Winner: Slight edge to Sirius
Reception Winner: Slight edge XM Canada
Sound Quality Winner: XM Radio
Hardware Winner: Tie
Pricing Winner: Slight edge to Sirius

The final conclusion? Neither really:

Consider XM Radio - if you want the best sound quality, you spend a lot of time in downtown urban centres or you must have NHL hockey.
Consider Sirius - if you want more stations, you need three or four receivers or live well north of the 49th parallel.
