Goodbye to Sirius?

[Section Twelve]

try listening to Opie and Anthony on the Virus station.
you'll never go back to Howard. I've got old love for Howard, but I got sick of no more Artie. the show is dead, plus he's a hypocryte.
he says F-the FCC, but then promotes Obama. wow..talk about promoting everything you stand against. later Howie...time to retire.
O & A rule.!!

I've listened to Opie and Anthony... they are not as good as Stern. Then again, we all have our own opinions.

However, O&A typically do things the Stern Show did YEARS ago. If it wasn't for Stern, people like O&A wouldn't be doing what they do now. When Stern left terrestrial radio, I listened to O&A and while I was entertained, it just wasn't the same. Then their ratings eventually led to the production stations not even fighting for them. Like they did for Stern for so many years.

I personally havent listened to Stern much saw his show on cable years ago when he was termed Shock Jock, Sirius is good for the selection it offers over 100 + stations and the relief from comercials which the free radio is so consumed by nowadays.

Hey guys, I use to subscribe to XM a few years ago, I was a member for about 3 years. I was paying the original $12 per month for the first year then decided it was a luxury I could eliminate so I called to cancel my subscription. Talked to the representative & she offered a yearly subscription of $75. Not sure how much you guys are paying for the service but call to cancel and they'll be willing to lower the price. The only catch is that you'll have to do this every year because the rates will go back to the normal price after that year is up.

Yeah, I pay $85/year for SiriusXM now since I threatened to cancel. It even comes with the internet radio access, which I use while home.

Sirius XM on DX

I signed up for the 3 years plan $74 per year 3 monthly payments and added recently Sirius XM internet radio & smart phone services for an additional $2.99 a month extra. I love the fact the DX has external speaker so i can take it and Sirius anywhere to listen phone bud free! Only problem I have is there are so many choices to listen to I can't decide which one half the time. I Jump from ESPN,NFL,Rock,Jazz,NPR,CNN,Country,Blend,Hits. dancedroid

Stern talked this week about negotiations with Sirius including going to three days per week. Archived shows would fill the extra time. He's getting older and doesn't want the daily grind any longer. Stern is a cheap monthly add on....if he was more expensive I'd drop him in a second as O and A are also good. Ron and Fez are better than both IMO though they come on later in the morning.

Howard costs me about $80/year (that's what i pay for Sirius, and only have it because of him). I also have XM in the vehicle as it's built in. NEver use that really.

I just tried that. Basically I was ready to cancel anyway since they were charging me $61 per quarter (tax and fees included). I got 5 months for $23. But no Stern and no internet radio access. They offered the $85 package for the year but no Stern and no internet radio. So I took the 5 month deal and told them I might cancel anyway if I don't like non-Stern radio. I like Stern but they wouldn't make a deal with me on that. Sometimes I listen to him alot and times where I won't listen for a week. Will try again in February when this runs out.

Is there a car charger/fm transmitter out? Similar to the monster audio on that they have for the ipod.

You basically need to hardball them. Tell them that you have no use for the service because for one, it's expensive (not really, but tell them) and two, without Stern it isn't worth paying for anyway.

That is what I did. They WILL work with you, but you have to be ready to show them you are serious.

I told them I'd try a week without Stern....and I may call back to cancel. What if I call back and say, OK, non Stern radio is a no go, cancel me. And they say, 'done.'??? I pushed it about as far as I thought I could go.

It's on the site, not the market.

You have to download it from Sirius, enable unapproved app installation on the phone and then install it.

That could very well happen. It didn't with me, though.

When I go to download the app at the Sirius sit, it says "Get the app and try Sirius/XM free for 7 days"... Should I be somewhere else? Sorry for the ignorance :icon_eek:
