I will have to try it. I let mine lapse after the initial 90 day free trial, but with this kind of good will I could come back ( I paid for the service for 2 years prior). It would have to be a short term subscription , like 90 to 180 days. With their financial position T am not getting stuck for a year.

on Thursday and adios'ed my service. I was told Sirius does not issue partial-month refunds, so I guess I will still have service until April 5th. Whatever.
 
All the music channels started to suck once they dumped the old ones after the merger and put in the XM channels in their place. And reception CONTINUES to suck under overpasses, on streets and highways with tall trees at their edges, etc.
 
Maybe one day in the future when they have ironed out all the kinks and I am buying a new car, I will ask to have Sirius in it. We will see.
 
Until then, good riddance.

Were the classical stations better on Sirius than XM? I would not have bought it if it was not in the PU truck. We liked the 3 Classical stations on XM. I was against Sirius because they wasted millions on Howard Stern. They should have spent the money on something worthwhile like upgraded technology.

Funny... I'm disappointed that my favorite XM channels are gone and those awful Sirius channels are there.

Well, that's how most corporate mergers go, instead of "synergies" we get the worst of both companies. I wouldn't put a lot of money on the future success of Sirius/XM....

I think their collapse is just around the corner. All the bad signs are there.

One of the evenings last week there was a piece on the news about how Sirius' primary source of new subscribers had been people buying new cars that came with sat radio and 90 free days subscription. Well it seems that since auto sales have fallen off a cliff, so have new Sirius subscriptions.
 
In addition we have the fact that they were almost a no-show at the electronics show in Vegas this year, after a number of years of large splashy displays, and the fact that they were talking bankruptcy prior to the 40% buyout that occurred last month.
 
I would agree with you that yes, all the signs are there.

They are also on a couple of financial news websites' "death watch", along with Rite-Aide and Krispy Kreme.
 
It's too bad. I was a Sirius subscriber for a long time until I sold the car and didn't get another SAT radio. I really enjoyed the programming and thought the concept viable. But I guess the 'ol iPod killed it.
