I told them just to let mine run out on 16th. I assume they will try to keep me as a customer. So, maybe they will make me a better offer? I hope.
Other wise it's terrestrial radio for me. I listen to both talk and music so the cheaper packages will not work for me.
In reality, satellite radio is a rip off when there is free radio. And its not the same as with TV. Not even close.
To bad they put the antenna on like they did. It's permanent right? If you take it off there is a hole under it I guess?

All three of my former cars were on the 77.00 a month XM deal, its going to be hard to swallow the 156.00 plus 'fees' for a year for Sirius but I probably will, I hope they at least discount 2nd radios like XM. I didnt see anything on their website about it.
The antenna has a cable going to it so if you dont see the cable it has a hole.

Sirrus and XM merged. Its SiriusXM now.
I too fought the worth it or not battle. XM called me and told me its was going to end x date. Gave me the price and I said no thanks at the time.
They called 3x, wrote twice and always the same price.
Starting listening to FM again. In my truck big loss of sound quality...not to mention commercials. I do not listen much to talk radio..well, not since Paul Harvey moved on.
Have an I pod too, but only so many songs and it cost to update. Sound quility is best off the I-pod or the trucks hard drive. In my opinion anyhow.
I ended up paying for two years...and yea the fees and Florida tax bugged the heck out of me, but for my listening pleasure SirrusXM was a must in my main vehicle. 245.00 plus plus for 2 years was the best offer I ever got. 5 offers, 4 turn downs...and it transers if you trade.
What bugged me was the fact my home stereo, my other car all cost 245 plus plus. All have to be a new seperate account. That is why I told them no 4x.

I use the traffic function a lot so took that one plus a customised package in which I get those channels that I actually listen to such as cnbc etc instead of the premium package that they advertise on their front page. If you dig deeper in their offerings you will see cheaper alternatives.

Just keep threatening to drop service and they will keep offering you the promo 3 months for the price of one. I did this multiple times with my third generation Ram. You have to call and tell them you would like to cancel and they will transfer you to another department. The other department will offer you the promo. Takes a little time, but works great and saves money.
I like sat radio, I listen to talk radio and the ability to listen to the same station all across the country is nice. I have a couple iPods full of music but sometimes its nice to listen to a somewhat live person when you are driving. Plus the comedy channels are a good break once in a while.
All three of my former cars were on the 77.00 a month XM deal, its going to be hard to swallow the 156.00 plus 'fees' for a year for Sirius but I probably will, I hope they at least discount 2nd radios like XM. I didnt see anything on their website about it.

Thankfully its a low profile antenna.
What about satellite radio is it you don't like? Cost?
