Xm sub since 05, same credit card also, guess what credit card expired this month, and so will my sub i dont plan on updating my card info. I can spend 15$ a month on 6 diff radio apps on my iphone, and get virtually unlimited chans. If i take a road trip some day i may give them 1 month, at a time but untill then ill save my 200$ a year. RIP XM, perhaps one day you will be resurected by a real person and not a prick that likes to go from company to company and ruin everything good about it... Whats MTV stand for again??
After these 2 price increases this year, I'm trying to decide exactly how much hearing Howard every morning is really worth to me. I just bought a new car and I will have to spend $300 to add Sirius to my car (frigging Mazda). I think I am just going to pass.
I think its interesting that the music industry is really striving to reel in their money in a time when everyone is low on money. congress should have known better than to let that pass.
I think everyone needs paid but how much is the question.
Looks like sirius xm may be trying to profit a little for handling the collection of the fees for
RIAA (Retarded Ignorant Audio Anarchists).
Its amazing how a few people can ruin such a good thing.
Just wait until the socialists pass the performance tax on terrestrial stations.
You think you get to hear the same 10 songs all day on fm radio now...you will get to hear the same 5 songs out of those 10.
Just pure BS is all it is. I like sirius xm, abit they need to add some special events and concerts or something every now and then.. Maybe get some new management.
everyone in this country has gotten so greedy with money...its what got our economy in its current situation to begin with. Just like the "speculation pricing of the oil"....Hey maybe it will work for radio and tv too...

It is not the fees from RIAA that brought about this increase. The real reason for the increase is that Sirius/XM needs to make up lost revenue due to a decline in their customer base.
I just got my email notice about the Royalty fees. It will total just undre $4 a month for me. (3 radios). I am upset enough already that I was promised no prices will change when the merget happned. Well... they raised the prices on a few things that effected me enought that I am now paying almost $6 more per month. I love my XM, but this may be the last straw. I know the Royalty fee is not an XM thing, but it still counts toward my subscription to the XM service.
I like how they got around "not raising subscription fees" but just passing on their bills.
i wonder what my customers would do if....I told them that "hey...I am not raising your monthly service bill but I am passing my payroll costs onto you". In 90 days I will be passing my insurance costs onto to you also but I am not raising your bill. Ha Ha...it cracks me up in this country how people can beat a dead horse into things that does not resemble a horse anymore.
I got my water bill and my payment was posted to them 3 days before the "late fee assesment date" and they still charged me a late fee. I was on the phone raising hell.
Its not my fault they let our 90 year old water mains go without maintenance and now that the water lines are breaking under the streets on a daily basis that i should be ripped off with a late fee. Hey I will get some big water tanks and put them in the ground out back and catch rain water from my gutter downspouts. I don't need their expensive water.
this is just an example how these companies are trying to screw everybody because they are hard up for money. Hey when I was not making much money I was NOT out trying to cheat and take off people to get more. I did the best I could and found an honest way to make it..

I cancelled six weeks ago after the increase was leaked. Four weeks ago, they emailed me a special for $6.48/month for six months. Three weeks ago, they emailed me a special for $4.99/month for six month. I went back last week.
I wonder what they would have done if I would have waited another couple of weeks.

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.
