They figure they've got enough people hooked so they can take a page from cable TV, cry the blues and jack the rates. *******s. I can't cry the blues and get my pension raised.(with a different finger)

I never used mine during the free six months so I just don't care.

420tee

I, unfortunately am hooked on it so I'm among the screw-ees.

My condolences, my friend!

Here's an idea for an accessory, an instant cooling steering wheel. 103 here today and even with a windshield cover the wheel gets tres hot.

103?!

And you guys have humidity, too...

105 today, more to come. The Benz A/C is adequate but doesn't come near my '87 Land Cruiser's. Now that's cold.

What's the problem with Sirius? Your renewal rate? There are many threads on the rates and how to get the best deals. I'm paying $88 a year not bad.

Some still stuck in the 20th century...

Tell them you're dropping them. They'll put you on line with a "retention rep". They will offer you a much better deal. You can still play hard to get. Remember the marginal cost of adding and keeping you is close to $0

Sirius is good if you want talk shows, for music the bandwidth is so small it has the worst quality of sound, very compressed.

mjhawkins2346

I guess my ears aren't as good as yours and with the ambient noises I never had it bother me. I do listen to a lot of talk radio though.

Agreed. The sound quality is worse than FM radio. Why would I pay for Sirius when I already have Apple Music subscription through my iPhone which provides nearly every song I could ever possibly want to listen to (and more!). I had it for a while in my old car, but let the subscription lapse and never looked back.

Isn't this streaming music needing a cell or wifi connection? Do they allow more bandwidth for the music? What is the setting? My concerns are about either getting out of cell range or using up my data allowance. What does Apple cost?
Sirius can be nice because it can offer you 100 different genres of music depending on your mood. I have buttons set up for different slices of rock or blues and sometimes jazz. Some channels feature Petty, Springsteen and others at different times too. It's still cheaper than my beer allowance.
