They are not the same.
For baseball XM
For football sirus.
They are the same company but back when they were separate they both used completely different technologies so they were not able to merge the sats in the sky to work on the same receivers.
So that means you have XM receivers that work for the XM satellites and Sirus receivers that work for the Sirus satellites.
Yes they have duplicated most of the same channels on both sets of satellites but the programs is not 100% the same.

Sometimes you read a thread and shake your head just going WTF.
Sirius and XM merged way back in 2008!!!!!
You can listen to football and baseball on a Sirius Receiver. This will be available until at least 2021!
The one thing you are going to want to get is a home receiver that you can double as a car receiver as well. Suggest you go on the website and see what receivers are available. The Lynx was great but it's discontinued I believe.
Starmate8 is good as well.
As far as packages, get the lifetime plan. In the long run it will cover itself many times over. I have three receivers I did lifetime on and I am glad I did. Prices have skyrocketed unlike the stock which is about $3.35 cents or so.
No matter what you do, you'll enjoy the NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAAF, NCAAB and MLB along with all the sports talk shows and other specials they do.
Listening to it as I typed this out.
Enjoy

Yea you can get it both on both but the point is you have to buy the best of sirius or the best of xm to get MLB on sirius or NFL on XM.
Its going to cost you a lot more money if you are a big NFL and have XM.
So yes you can get it all but you have to pay a big premium.
They merged 6 years ago yet they each have different channels. Way to ripoff the paying customers. They are a bunch of cocksuckers. They were charging me $250 a year for one radio. I called them up and said "I'm going to cancel b/c I only listen to a few channels." Well they said "No, don't go. We need you. We'll give it to you for $125 a year." Not a bad price but no way in hell anyone should be paying $18 a month for this.
They may have changed the name but the point is if you are an NFL fan that does not care about baseball you will save money with Sirius.
If you are baseball fan that does not care about football you will save money with XM because you won't have to buy an expanded package to get the other.
So yes same company but very different options.
