What happend when your Sirius sub run out?

My Sirius Promo period ended 3 weeks ago.
As a result:
1. Radio is in Preview mode.
2. Up till now my traffic still works.

As I was not impressed with quality of sound/programming itself- I decided to
skip their "generous" offer (tune of $17/ month + few $ invoice fee?).

Yesterday, I got a call with offer of a deal that I had 2 years ago on XM ($77 for a year).
Been putted on a spot like that, I just took it.
Ofcourse, I declined to use a CC- as it is signs you up for an auto renewal at regular rate. Full price for 1 year is $77+ $8 Music Royalty.

Not a bad deal. I dont listen to it even during my 3 month free promo. I have my CD's, Ipod, and HDD, and I can listen to whatever I want as often as I want skip or replay what I want.
If I used Sirius at all maybe I would consider but never for $17 a month.

Think they are just running the promo of $77 / year for both brands. I don't believe our radio's will pick up the XM signal. I won't renew my Sirius account but would jump on XM in a heart beat.

I usually call to cancel my sub just before it ends and they'll offer me a deal of 6 months for $15 or so. For a couple bucks a month, I always take it.
