#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.

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?
#1618 of 1618 they reached new heights for poor service by carnaught Nov 11, 2009 (3:22 pm)
Recently I came off the three month trial period for XM on my new Infiniti. I started ne service and prepaid for the year.   Sirius/XM are offering a $100 gift Visa card as a promo for new serrvice.. Despite the fact I've met all the criteria for the card I was told that the new service started had to be with an after-market XM radio, not one pre-installed in the car. In no place on the promo's agreement on their website, or even the fine print, does it mention that condition link.   I then called back a couple of hours later. This time I was placed on hold twice, switched to a superior who had me on hold another 3-4 times then after a long period of "hold" told me she couldn't answer why I wouldn't qualify and would call me back at the phone number they have on file for me. That was two hours ago and I'm still waiting for (and not expecting) the call.   My wife says this is a "loss leader" but as far as I'm concerned, this seems like a sham or fraud.   I'll update you for those who are interested.
