Save yourself $15 a month and get Slacker on your phone. Better music stations than XM and only $4 a month. Unless you are looking for the talk/sports... There is no self contained sat radio for the car. They all require antenna and power, and thanks to the FCC the ones that have built in FM...

And normally people read the whole thread before replying to a post. That way they can see if that post has already been called out.. :D

Way to read the post directly above yours...:rolleyes:

No I'm not. I know he's gone. However Mel is the one who sat there and straight-faced lied to the SEC and DoJ in order to create a monopoly, and hes the one who ran the company straight into the ground as he pulled the ripcord on his golden parachute. And I highly doubt anyone associated with...

If you just do music, Slacker is $4 a month.. And the channels can go even deeper than XM used to.. Just sayin.. I have had it with Sirius and their crap. Its now simply FM that you have to pay for. I dumped them almost a year ago and I will not be returning until Mel has been grilled by the...

Lol they officially combined in Jan 2011.. that's when the company known as XM was officially dissolved. Honestly I doubt you'll ever be able to combine accounts. Besides, there's only 2 years left before they abandon the Sirius hardware completely. They decided long ago to use (the superior)...

I absolutely agree. Having been with XM since 2001, and seeing it go from a quality premium service to "FM that you have to pay for", I can no longer justify the hassle and expense. So their greed lost them a 4 radio sub. I now pay $3 a month for Slacker and download O&A.

Its just the way they work. Speaking of non-consumer-friendly, to this day (five years after the relaunch of the combined company and nearly two years after the official merger) they STILL can not put a Sirius and XM radio on the same plan - you need two separate subs (and therefore can not get...

Unfortunately the combined company now holds the entire frequency/bandwidth block that was allocated to SDARS. There is no way for a competing company to get started without petitioning the FCC for another block or suing SXM for part of theirs. Its total bulls#it, and just further shows how Mel...

I just noticed this otherwise I'd have posted sooner.. The actual main point of these "free listen" campaigns isnt to win back customers (because customers who have had the service and canceled know what they had), its to give Sirius opportunities to kill unsubscribed radios that may still be...

Profitable??? No. Not even close. He took a failing company (Sirius) and a stable company (XM) and turned them into one huge train wreck through his reckless spending and FM business model. Sirius was hemorrhaging cash before the merger because of all the talentless hacks he gave ridiculous...

That's why I finally dumped them. I was a very early adopter because I was sick of FM and it was a promising platform.. Had XM since 2000. I watched it get better and better until the merger. Then I watched Mel run it straight into the ground, through his lies, poor business decisions, and...

It's getting so stupid now.. It's to the point where the stores have Back to School stuff set up in May/June.. Before the kids are even OUT of school!! You walk into stores in July/August and see Halloween, and in September it's all Christmas, then at the beginning of December you already see...

Dude you're worse than Walmart.. It's not even Halloween yet! :D :D

I'm telling you it's not going to stay alive anymore without a lot of luck in timing. They're keeping the kill signals in permanent rotation because they were made to look so stupid over it (I can't find the article, but it came out sometime in the past year). It may work for a few days, but...

You're absolutely right. The merger has resulted in the exact opposite of what Mel swore up and down to the FCC, DoJ, and SEC would happen. We now have LESS choices, HIGHER prices, LOWER quality, and ZERO hardware innovation. They should haul his ass in front of a review committee and make...

I DID read the customer agreement line by line, and that verbiage is NOWHERE to be found. Nor is there ANYTHING ANYWHERE on their site (or any site really, because I searched) about them ever having contracts of any length. That letter is tied to a promotion of some kind that you received.

Still don't believe you. Post this alleged letter or you're lying. Better yet, show me something ANYWHERE that says they have contracts.

Umm NO, you have NEVER been locked into ANY CONTRACT when you buy new or upgrade or ANYTHING. The ONLY time there have been ANY type of penalties is if you get a PROMO RADIO PRICE direct from them, and that's either 3 or 6 months depending on the radio. They encourage you to "lock in" your...

Post up this alleged letter. I've had XM since 2002 along with Sirius since 2008 on a factory Mazda radio, and there's never been a whiff of any ETF because there's NEVER been any contract lock in (save for the promos I mentioned before, and a vehicle-equipped radio does NOT count as a free or...

Uhhh they NEVER had an ETF because they NEVER made you sign a contract. The only 'penalty' fees they ever had was if you took one of their free radio promos and didn't keep service for at least 3 (maybe it was 6) months, they would bill you for the price of the radio. But as far as I know they...

You're still a dumbass. (Just like you're a dumbass for claiming that retention gamers are the cause of all Sirius/XM's financial problems). Both companies had plenty of bandwidth for their original lineups, but then they got greedy and squeezed in more than they could handle so they had to...

It's impossible to figure how many subscribers Stern brought in, but we all know it isn't as many as the King of Inflated Egos thinks it is. He seems to think that everyone who subscribed after October 6, 2004 can be attributed to him.

That's not what he meant. He has an XM radio only. He meant the deal he was talking about was available even before the merger. But like I said they did away with it somewhere in the last couple months.

Yeah I know, so have I. But you're not going to get it again because they don't have it anymore.
