couldn't u have just bought the lifetime subscriptions for 499 and dont ever have to worry about fees.
The point being made is the quality of programing isn't worth $170 per year. Satellite radio is a luxury item in which I no longer find value.
I'm also pissed with their "evergreen" renewal clause. I tried to cancel the service online and I can't. I tried to delete the CC on file and couldn't without adding another. Now I need to quit posting and make a damn phone call.

Or, if one of your cars or radios is Sirius and another is / was XM you cannot put them on them same account now even though they are the same company.
Yup, progress.

Then i buy an Acura that comes with XM, put the sirius dock in it thinking once they merge it's all going to be the same and i can get rid of it... no dice. To get Howard in my Acura i need to sign up with XM and buy the howard package (whatever that is) so then i pay for XM and Sirius cause i still use sirius at work and in the S2K.

you can log in and use online streaming with your account right?
I think I decided I'm done with this now have to call up tomorrow and try going through all the bullshit to cancel my sub. Gonna get a slacker radio I've been listening online for a few days now and its pretty cool you can customize your own stations and its only $99 for the equipment no monthly fees

Damn, just when I think I am out...they PULL me back in.
Sirius offered the next full year at half price. With tax, $81.75. No need to talk with a manager, the CSR made the offer and did it on the spot.

I cancelled last spring after 4 years, partly because I no longer saw the need to spend the money on it. Mostly, though, I just got tired of the signal cutting out every time I came within 50 feet of a power line or any tall tree.

What do you guys feel about HD radio? Many local radio stations are multicasting (carrying multiple channels within the same signal)? I don't have HD radio but I've been thinking about getting one. It should surely expand your listening options. Definitely cheaper than Serius/XM w/ probably as many options (with the exception of Radio Lemans, the COmedy channel, etc.).
