Has anyone seen the new Sirius web site? I think it's just great, and it will help get new subscribers. One great addition, is their Why We Rock page. I think it sums up nicely why Sirius Rocks!
I agree. The commercials on the XM feeds really turned me off. I don't like paying $10 for music a month, and having commercials on more half of the music feeds.

They've really started to get aggressive on their product pricing lately, which I think is a good step for them, and will take a solid chunk out of XM's share.
My only complaint is the darn antenna placement in my home. But that's my own fault - I don't have a east or north facing window where my home theatre system is.
That and the fact you can get Sirius feeds online to your computer is a nice thing too.
