Default Who uses Sirius?

I'm curious who uses Sirius radio and are there any promotions which would entice me to install the module in my car. I can see the advantages of having sat radio if your always on the road or live outside of cities and don't get reception but when you really add it all up, it's a rather expensive luxury. Now if they had less expensive packages with say only 50 channels as opposed to the current choices of 150 channels it would make sense.I personally think they are missing the boat by not offering $6 a month subscriptions plus add on fees as opposed to the $13 plus fees for channels I will never use?

I have it. It's pretty much the only radio we listen to - the comedy stuff and the classical music channels. They have a lot of other stuff that we don't listen to. The quality is less than FM radio but it's still good.

But no, I don't know of any promotions.

I activated the XM radio in my car shortly after I got it. It's all I listen to unless I put in a CD. Sounds great through the BOSE surround sound. I'm not exactly sure but I think I paid something like $110 for a 12 month family friendly subscription that started in April or May. Maybe search the internet for some promotional codes that at least eliminate the activation fee....

Ditto, I listen to my 5 or 6 stations, and CDs. Hardly ever listen to local radio. Just happy to not have to listen to dumb commerials anymore.

Lol what are you talking about bud. The whole point of XM and Sirius was to provide satellite radio with more channels and at a much better quality sound. It is absolutely not less quality than FM radio!
And the lifetime membership is around $525 I believe. I bought a 3 year plan for somewhere around $360 if I remember correctly.

Much better than FM but it too gets old after a while. Time to upgrade to internet access so I can play COD 4 and Rainbow Six Vegas at stop lights!

I've used Xm for over 5 years now. Its the only radio I listen to unless its AM radio for Cubs games when they are away.
