XM vs Sirius Reception

I have both, XM in the Hummer and Sirius in my Silverado. I have noticed that the XM coverage is much worse than Sirius. Any one else notice this or have issues?

Thanks

My coverage is fantastic in the upper Midwest. Only interference I suffer from is in my parking garage.

My wife has Sirius in her van and I have XM in the H3. The reception is identical for us here in MI.

XM works well here in the desert. I only lose reception in the high walled canyons.

I have XM in my H3, the wife has Sirius in her Honda, never noticed any difference and always seem to get good reception in my H3 on road trips. Might be a moot point when the merger goes through.

I have alot of reception issue here in Ventura, I'm sure alot of it has to do with the antenna being mounted on my dash rather than on top of the vehicle though.
