XM/Sirius Merger

[BEER30]

Just updated my XM subscription and asked a few questions concerning the XM/Sirius merger . They have now started to introducing "The Best of Sirius" on XM . Not all the channels are what some of you would want to hear right now , Howard Stern , PlayBoy , Martha Stewart , but at least they added NASCAR and NFL . Hey it's a start ! Other subscription tiers are in the works . I have went ahead and paid a years subscription of $186.89 + my XM weather for my Zumo for the XM + BOS . I was under the impression that any additional receiver would be somewhere around $6-7 + change a month . NOT ! $10.+change per "YEAR" for any additional receiver , whether it be an an XM or Sirius receiver !!!!!

However the added Sirius channels aren't numerous at this time , at least it's a start as more channels to added later .

Now from what XM told me , the same shall apply to Sirius subscribers . But they will be getting "The Best of XM" to start . So since my free Sirius radio subscription out of my new truck has expired , I just might take advantage of the $10.+change a year additional receiver charge . Though my truck sit pretty in the driveway most of the time ! :hihi:

 

Just thought I would spread the news that something is happening in the XM/Sirius merger .

I'm paid up for two years so I guess I won't have to think about that. Not sure if I really want any of the Sirius channels anyway.

I have XM on the scoot , but had Sirius in my truck . Kinda liked a little of each . Hopefully soon , customers can pick and choose what they want from either . I just like SAT radio better as it's uninterrupted why drive long miles and not having to worry about loosing stations or switching/searching . Oh by the way , here's a PDF of the Channel lineup for now .

Mine also just expired in my new truck. To make a long story short I just did not get around to renewing it for about 3 or 4 weeks. Then out of the blue I get an email from XM wanting me back. I renewed for 2 years at $67 dollars a year.

I just looked online at XM and Sirius sites and can't find anything about buying each others programs. Of our cars 1 came with sirius and the other with xm and would like to get some kind of deal. I also thought that they or each would offer the 2 radio discount. Any ideas?

As I talked to XM this mourning , nothing yet is placed on their websites . They are still working on it . When I told them I had Sirius in my truck , they told me to call Sirius and either subscribed with them as they already have me in their network or ask them to get permission to transfer everything back to the XM office to make it simpler . Either way , I would get the same respective rates as if I were dealing directly with on office with the both systems . They are still working on ironing out all the details . For right not , the extra packages will be the "Best Of........." added to each respectable plan .
