Rate Increase Coming

Tha quality has gone WAYYYYYYY DOWN!!

Why anyone would let them convince them to continue paying the same FOR LESS is totally ridiculous!
 
Dude, Dude, Dude - and that's why I like your posts, 'cos they're SO MUCH as expressive as mine!! :-*

I wouldn't say it's gone WAY down, sure things are a little different now, but it's still a great service with awesome stations (60's on 6 still being my favorite) and locking in the current rates for a year on my second radio was worth the time and investment!
 
ITS NO DIFFERENT FROM A REGULAR FM RADIO NOW!!

Why pay for this crap when you can get it for free??

I WAS GONNA GET AN XM RADIO FOR CHRISTMAS.... IM GLAD I DIDNT!!!!

In my opinion: THERE IS NO XM ANYMORE......

It depends on where you live Dude. In some places "regular FM radio" is a lot worse!
 
Why even entertain such a silly argument. A guy who doesn't have SiriusXM, and is glad he never got it, is saying it's not worth it. Yet like us that do listen every day is telling us it sucks. Sort of like saying you hate the food in China, but you've never been there. Simply angry, low level people who like to put the world down so they can feel better about themselves. Sad! We have choices in life. If you don't like something, don't get it. And if you get something and don't like it, get rid of it. SiriusXM has 20 million people that do like it, so no loss if you don't. Just don't put us down that do. Reminds me of my friend Dave who has worked in radio sales in the top ten markets for 25 years. He got SiriusXM last week as he is driving a lot now with his new job outside of radio. He said, "I just got Sirius and I love it. It's the best thing I ever bought. I'll never listen to terrestrial stations again." I replied, "I know Dave. Now you know why terrestrial radio tried so hard to stop them from merging. Welcome aboard."
 
Good point Walter. If people get unhappy with Sat radio, they need to come to Cincinnati and listen to the crap on the air here. Sat ain't perfect, but it sure beats what is one the local radio.
 
Yep, even Sirius is still better than Tucson cough "radio"...
 
Your all so right SiriusXM Satellite Radio is the cat's meow right up until that stupid wire breaks leading up to the antenna. Then it's not worth ****! Somebody go back to the drawing board and increase the size of the wire.
 
The transmitter method is the last way to listen to
sirius. First choice is the cassette adapter. Second the MP3 plug in your stereo. Third the adapter to plug it into your amps.
 
I would have thought that the AUX In would be best? The cassete adapters seem to be a little noisy and crop the high and low ends some...

Taylor, reports a rate increase is on the way for Sirius/XM sometime in March; XM will start charging $2.99 for the broadband version and will be no longer included at the $12.95 rate.


What will happen to the online only subscription? It's now $7.95.

Sorry Sirius/XM but I'll just stop listening on line. I just found Roadrunner which is using Music Choice. This also makes me less inclined to have Sirius/XM in the car. I'm not canceling now but it does put me on the fence.

That is just plain wrong for a number of reasons:
First the Aux output provides the best sound quality, second is FM; the modulator used in Sirius and XM radios is capable of a top end of 15khz, the average cassette player is 12khz with all things perfect inside; such as head alignment. The other flaw in cassette adapters is the mechanism is running; wearing out the belts and motors and in some transports you risk the adapter getting jammed inside the radio.

If you really want to improve the audio quality, try a high quality transmitter like the EDM LCD transmitter; which will give you audiophile quality sound to any radio on your property.

Every Time I used a cassette adaptor the cassette machine started going squirrelly. One started going into fast forward while playing, for no reason. In another car, the cassette player started making funny noises. I never had a problem until I started using cassette adaptors.
