Sirius Xm to raise rates another $2

Canceled today. No hassles. The good service on the cancelation means that if the company gets its act together I could consider coming back, but it would take quite a super long term deal with some serious programming improvements to get me back. I will be looking for the prorated refund I was quoted to show up on my credit card. I canceled primarily due to this royalty fee cash grab because it was the last straw. I still have SXM music on D* if I want to listen to the music channels at home, but I doubt I'll bother with the shallow playlists we now have.

If it's music you want i would suggest a Slacker G2 for your car or just sub to podcasts for whatever new music you want to discover. Satrad to me has run it's course , it was good in the begining and it helped me escape Fm the way Internet radio helped me escape SatRad . Jam on my friend

I agree Hank. I forgot to mention that we just got a nifty FM transmitter/charger for the iPhone for use in the car from Griffin. I usually carry at least 50 hours of podcasts plus all my favorite music with me on the phone. Also my husband has his favorite music on his phone. I have MLB at Bat on the phone, too and it streams remarkably well in the car. I've already tried it. So when we are on a long drives together, we are golden. The car would have been where we missed XM the most, but we made sure we had an alternative before we canceled.

Right now I'm streaming the program I listened to every morning on XM at home. Too bad for XMs bad business and programming moves. I loved it in its day and there was a time I couldn't have lived without it, but no more. Thanks Hank and best wishes.
