So in a nut shell it is crap and for what it is it should be cheaper in the beginning and cheaper yet for returning customers.Since they merge with XM radio it should be now.

I drive about 1 hour door-to-door each way to and from work. The price for Sirius is worth it for me! @Jonathan not sure if you are asking me.

I was thinking about getting XM or Sirius because I am tired with futzing with my iPod while driving. I thought it was more like $10/month though, not $20. How long is your commute?

After all, now you get to deal with 3 or 4 calls a week from them -- or should I say, some automated version of them -- for the next month or two attempting to get you to come back... ;) Oh, no worries NCN, you’re not quite done with Sirius just yet.

For the last three years I've gotten the best price that my cable company can offer by calling and threatening to cancel. I just called them last week and saved $450 off their regular price for both cable tv and internet service for one year. Now that we have two homes, I have to deal with paying in two places. I thought about going the satellite route and trying to find an extra receiver but have discovered I can work both of the cable companies to get lower prices and I'm paying less for two places than most people for 1. I LOVE BEING FRUGAL! It sure is neat to read people's comments about how you've influenced them to change their ways. I remember when you started and were hacking away at that debt. You've come a long way brother. I still think we need to all pull up our skirts a bit and spend a little cash to have a PF blogger convention. (somewhere warm) Don’t even get me started on TV :)

You've singlehandedly turned me on to the debt-free mindset, and after 50+ years of indebtedness and living paycheck to paycheck, that's an amazing development. Thank you, my friend. As for Sirius, I hear ya. When I purchased a new car two years ago, XM Satellite came installed and with a three month free trial. At the end of that trial, I canceled. They were on me like white on rice to re-enlist, and I did...at their fire-sale 60% discount price. When that year was over, it was Sayonara, and I canceled for good. Bottom line: as a taxpayer, we loan out the airwaves and get "free" programming via commercial tv and radio. That's good enough for me. Aside from that, I'd rather not spend frivolously. Hey, take care, NCN! Thanks again for everything, and my very best to you and your family. NCN: First off – love the podcast, love the websites.

I've been an XM subscriber for years and am thinking of cancelling that. I have no problems with it - I'm just not listening to it. Funny you say this.
