Are you still subscribed to Sirius? It seems they are raising fees without any prior notice, $2 extra each month to pay for their royalties? sneaky! Sirius is escaping bankruptcy!

Well should be for the lifetime of your radio, Mark, regardless of the merger which is still actually a good year away IF it is approved by the regulatory agencies.

I am a huge Sirius fan! I’ve been a subscriber for over 3 years now, and I’m still in love. I bought the Lifetime Subscription a year ago, and I really wonder how that is going to work if the companies merge. hmmmm….

[…] Our family started a Sirius satellite radio subscription in September 2006 and I’ve enjoyed listening to NFL and Howard Stern, plus a few of the music channels. Is it worth approximately $200 a year for two subscriptions? We renewed the first quarter anyway. One for a Sirius Starmate radio that works in the home or car via FM transmitter, the other for my son’s Stiletto 100. I know he’s controversial, but Howard Stern does some excellent radio. As mentioned here before, it’s easier for me to follow radio than TV while working and the terrestrial radio in our area is spotty, at best, so paying for satellite radio is worth it to us. We haven’t fully explored all channels, just like TV, but at least my son and I are enjoying what Sirius offers. The next time you hear or see somebody say who will pay for radio, point them here.

[…] I finally joined the satellite radio movement in September 2006. Our oldest son has the Stiletto 100 and enjoys channel 19, BuzzSaw (rock). We’ll be keeping our two satellite subscriptions into 2007, so the next time somebody says who would pay for radio you have at least one name. I’d rather pay for satellite radio than TV because radio is something I can enjoy while working. I enjoy terrestrial radio too but the signal is pretty spotty at home and our offices. TV is much too distractive, unfortunately.

[…] Despite all the content the internet offers, I still listen to terrestrial radio, particularly in the car, although with our recent addition of Sirius satellite admittedly less than before. We don’t have Sirius satellite hardwired, so I need transfer the Starmate Replay from home to car. My son has the new Sirius Stiletto 100, but that doesn’t have an FM transmitter, so it’s not available in the car either. Also, we don’t have satellite radio in both our vehicles and, similar to satellite TV, the local broadcast isn’t available. Although with satellite TV you can buy local channels, you can’t get them with XM or Sirius. Take the Seahawks game for example, I greatly prefer the local hometown broadcast on KIRO710 versus the national broadcast that’s being played on Sirius. […]

[…] As mentioned Sunday, our family is now Sirius satellite subscribers and the last couple days I’ve been wading through the channels, learning how to use the Starmate Replay (STH2). This morning I’ve read that they are offering internet subscriptions — no radio required — for the same $12.95/month. Some colorful commentary at Digg including a comment that this doesn’t work outside the US (yes/no?). […]
