If you were joking....you're closer to the truth than you realize.
According to the analysts, the 2 providers use different technologies and are not compatible. So the service itself probably would not become the same or one would not be eliminated. The thought regarding this (merging has been a rumor for a long time...both companies are losing "gobs" of money) is that one will buy the other and keep the separate services (anyone see a monopoly here) and maybe separate identities or optional levels...XM1 or XM2 (Sirrius), for example. And then diversify the programming so there is little duplication and each would have its own identity.

I prefer xm too. Love having hockey and baseball!!
I think overall they offer very similar styles of music choices. For me it really came down to the sports and the xm 2go. I love being able to listen to it even when I'm walking. sirius may have something like that too but that what got my attention for xm.
That being said this is probably best discussed in its own thread, bet there is already a thread too!
