#1608 of 1618 Re: Converting from XM to SIRIUS [steve_] by imidazol97 Jul 10, 2009 (4:54 pm)
Replying to: steve_ (Jul 10, 2009 4:25 pm) Converting.   What I found.   If the car came equipped with XM, there's a small box that can be switched for one set up for Sirius frequencies. It's about $100 or along with cables if the radio were XM ready but didn't already have cables.   http://www.tss-radio.com/sirius-connect-sirgm1-p-228.html   At first the friends didn't want to just pay $5 extra for the Sirius addon to XM. But that's what she ended up doing. They get Howard Stern just fine along with a few certain music channels that Sirius has that XM didn't.   Sirius offered XM convert box on their site but I found it first from a third party site.
#1609 of 1618 we have a 6 month by explorerx4 Jul 11, 2009 (2:28 pm)
sirius subscription. i like it, although i have only listened to it for a couple or hours or so, it is in the wifemobile. it cuts out going into the garage, which i find annoying.
#1610 of 1618 Does anyone know? by carnaught Jul 23, 2009 (7:08 am)
if they (XM) still give a discount, or $7.99/mo,. for a second or more radios in an account?
#1611 of 1618 Price Increase by tallman1 Jul 23, 2009 (8:33 am)
So... what do you all think of the new $1.98 "U.S. Music Royalty Fee” Sirius XM will start charging in a few days? I love this question and answer on their website. No fee increase.... lol   11. Is this fee consistent with SIRIUS XM's merger commitment not to raise prices for three years? Yes. This fee is consistent with our commitment not to raise the base price of specific service plans for three years after the merger. The FCC decision approving the merger between SIRIUS and XM permits the companies beginning July 29, 2009 to pass through to subscribers any increases in music royalties since March 20, 2007, the day the companies first asked the FCC to approve the merger. The U.S. Music Royalty Fee implements this FCC decision.
#1612 of 1618 i just renewed sirius by explorerx4 Oct 27, 2009 (5:17 pm)
from it's initial 6 month subscription for 2 years. i asked my wife if she still wanted it and she said yes. it was about $300.
#1613 of 1618 subscription by michaell Oct 27, 2009 (8:24 pm)
We just let ours lapse on the wife's VUE. She got a new iPod that will hold 4,000 songs and she just plugs that in for her commute.   If she doesn't want to pull out the AUX cable, she's still got a 6-CD changer loaded with music for her to listen to. Her commute is about 20 minutes one-way, so it would take a while for her to listen to all the music.   The only thing I miss with the iPod compared to XM is that the artist and song info is not displayed on the head unit.

Replying to: michaell (Oct 27, 2009 8:24 pm) Of course, SIRIUS XM, is more than just music. I find myself listening to a lot of talk radio, sports, news, etc. Lots of variety in music too. I rarely buy music anymore so my monthly fee isn't really an add on. Replies to this message: michaell (Oct 28, 2009 4:30 am) colloquor (Oct 28, 2009 6:31 am)

Replying to: tallman1 (Oct 27, 2009 9:32 pm) Of course, SIRIUS XM, is more than just music.   Agreed, but you wouldn't know that with what we listened to.   I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times we listened to non-music channels on XM ... usually on a road trip.
#1616 of 1618 Re: subscription [tallman1] by colloquor Oct 28, 2009 (6:31 am)
Replying to: tallman1 (Oct 27, 2009 9:32 pm) I would concur. Although I spend a lot of time on Channel 6 ('60s music), I do like to listen to the BBC, and other non-music channels. Personally, I think Satellite radio for the car is one of the best technological products ever invented. The subscription price is down in the noise for most people. I'd much rather listen to SIRIUS XM than to spend the time downloading, and paying for, tunes into an iPod.
#1617 of 1618 they made money by steve_ HOST Nov 07, 2009 (9:25 am)
Or didn't lose so much at least. Their $11 million 3rd quarter loss has been applauded as a "great quarter". C4C was good for them.   "One of the most important drivers for Sirius is auto sales. Most new satellite-radio subscribers are car buyers who get a free year. That most likely benefited Sirius during the third quarter due to the so-called cash-for-clunkers program, which spurred car sales."   Satellite Radio -- You Can't Be Sirius?
