At the end of the three months, tell them you want to cancel it and they'll make you a good deal....I got an additional six months for $30....we'll see what happens at the end of that period!

You're right about that Dawg...........and thanks pbans, I've already been warned to set aside a 2-hour block of time for when I go to cancel the XM

So, if I want some xm channels on my Sirius subscription, I have to pay another $4.00 per month? So where's the advantage to the consumer for the merger?

this merger is a piece of crap

"the best of xm" only consist of 5-6 channels...and i dont want any of them

the a la carte option is crap also

the only thing i wanted from xm was the mlb package and fox sports


can i get that???? NO!

I just want O&A and some hockey games.

I might pay $4.00 on my primary receiver for that.

I'm waiting until they go the other way around and offer sirius channels on XM


(I'll probably end up keeping the XM after my trial runs out on my car but.....)

So it's not really a merger.....sort of like Nextel and Sprint......

I'll trade my land in Florida for that bridge....

I have xm and wanted to add Sirius stations (now available) so that we could get the nfl station. Well we pre-paid for our xm for a year at a considerable discount. The only way we can add the Sirius stations is to cancel the years service we have, purchase another years service at the full price and then they will apply my discounted pre-paid balance toward the new much higher bill. Ticked me off. They can't come up with a better way? I imagine most people who pre-paid did so with a discount and I can't see anybody giving that up for the new stations.

They would say the benefit is you now have the option of getting XM channels on Sirius and vice-versa. Then they would say they now offer al-a-cart pricing for $6.00per-mo for certain music stations so people can save money. You have to pay more of course I read over the weekend that in the first week it was 4-1 ratio of XM subscribers adding the "Best of Sirius", they attribute that to the XM subscribers wanting Howard Stern who in truly bad timing is on vacation err honeymooning this week.

For some reason they didn't make Radio Margaritaville part of the options available to XM and the biggest issue people with Sirius have is the MLB package which is not available to Sirius subscribers. Someone at XM said it is becaus eof a contact issue with MLB and MLB should be available to Sirius subscribers in 2009.

The full benefits of the "merger" won't really be seen for a few year's when they can launch a new Satellite and start making new radios that can pick up both signals. And by then the FCC stipulations they set on pricing would be expired and Sirius-XM can charge anything they want.

if i can get mlb next summer, i will be happy


i though about switching to xm, since i can now get the nfl...but radio margaritaville is not available

they marketed this merger as consumers would be able to "CHOOSE WHAT THEY WANTED"....NOT SO!

Evetually, you will be able to get what you want. But, as far as getting Best of Sirisu/ Best of XM, of course it's going to cost a little more since you have to pay the talent and licensing fees that go along with that programming.
