The only commercials on Sirius are the commercials on the "regular" stations (i.e. CNN, ESPN, etc.). They also come on from time to time on the "non-commercial" stations and plug one of their other channels. (i.e. the Classic Vinyl DJ my come on and talk about the fact that they play NFL games on Sunday).

Sirius is 12.95/mo. I think XM is 9.95 per month. I bought a portable receiver, boom box and a car kit from the Sirius website for $149. It would have been $249 at Radio Shack, Best Buys etc. The reason that I got the portable kind is that the subscription goes with the receiver. If you have one in your car and one in the house, you have to pay twice. So I just bought one that I can use in both places.

**edit** BTW - Stackem - yesterday I listened to NRA News on one of their talk stations. (I think the station is called "Patriot" - it carries conservative talk. They have about three or four conservative talk channels and about the same number of liberal channels.)
