I now have one subscription using one older Delphi Skyfi2 receiver. There's now a Skyfi3 which might be better but that'd mean buying alot of new equipment for me.
The receiver is portable thus I have car base units in each of my 3 cars, a base unit at work, a base unit in my garage and basement. It even plugs into a boom box.
Being that I can only be in one place or car at any time, why pay for extra subscriptions.

As for opinions on types of equipment, etc, you might want to look here:

You'll need two car kits. They're easily found via google, many on Ebay.

I have Sirius and this reminded me to check their website to see what XM content they have now since the merger. A bit disappointing as it is only a "best of" package of select channels... geez I could listen to Oprah now lol! Oh well, on the plus side I see they have other packages now and found one for $9.95 that has the channels I listen to instead of $12.95/mo. :chug

Yeah, I have to check that merger info out myself. There's typically only a few music stations I ever listen too and those aren't as good now as they use to be years ago.

As for Sirius, I can't see why anyone would want to hear Howard Stern, Martha Stewart or:

The Playboy channel.
Sexy, smart, and sophisticated adult programming featuring Hugh Hefner, updates from the Playboy Mansion, live call-in shows, and much more.

LOL, seriously, ol' Hef is what, 81 now.
