I recently got the same notice as qbrozen about increasing the monthly cost on the 2nd units. And I have 2 now, at $6.99/each (3 cars, so 1 primary + 2 secondary). I haven't yet checked out the offers, but maybe paying for a year to lower the monthly cost isn't such a great idea! Pretty sneaky though. Raise the price enough to up cash flow for people who don't change (that is, stay monthly), and generate a "windfall" from people who prepay now! I would miss it. I have a long commute now (1+ hour each way) and love the baseball talk coverage on XM, and the games in season. PLus I enjoy the music, and there are still pelnty of stations I like. ALso nice for when we travel, often through areas with no real over the air. Yeah, I could live without it, but I would miss it. And I am a bit fuzzy on what the internet option gives me. Isn't it just a clearer signal of regualr broadcast stations? |

Replying to: gagrice (Feb 10, 2009 7:21 pm) uh-oh. So does this mean I should call and cancel my subscriptions now and hope for a refund?? |

Replying to: drtravel (Feb 10, 2009 5:24 pm) the ipod is the same as putting CDs in your car, it just holds more. It is not a service. So, again, not really competition. My problem with the ipod is that it seems I can never put enough music on there to give me the variety I want, yet too much music makes it impossible to navigate. Like I said, maybe internet radio comes closest. But at $30/mo, it is certainly not the economical choice. If Sirius goes away, I will miss it. But I'll live. I will have to resort to MP3s.

Have enjoyed XM for a number of years. First, on home receiver hooked up to home sound system maybe 5 years ago. Our 2004 car came with XM and then combined subscription with home receiver for 1+ year. Our 2007 car came with XM but did not take out a subscription after free trial of first 3 months. Don't remember when, maybe about 3 years ago, our Direct TV subscription started including all the XM channels for no extra charge. The variety of music offered is great and allows one to of course enjoy one's favorite music styles as well as exploring and finding other styles to enjoy. WIll be a huge loss if Sirius/XM fails to come back some way after bankruptcy. Never did understand why Sirius paid millions for a contract with a filthy porn talk show host. Are there that many listeners that want to be in the gutter? Sirius and XM should be about music. |

"a solid business with an outstanding customer base, but we are burdened with substantial debt obligations" Sounds familiar. The music biz is tough these days: Muzak files for bankruptcy (CNN) |

 I just recently hooked up my Sirius Stilleto 100 into my Toyota Corolla. I used the FM adapter and the hardwire hookup kit. My PROBLEM is that only the left side of my car speakers work with the Sirius Satellite on, when regular terrestrial radio on all speakers work. I went and traced all the hook ups which there are only a couple, everything seems to be hooked up right? Can someone PLEASE help figure out what it is I done wrong, Please!
