Satellite radio? What's that?
I agree. I've been a subscriber of XM for 5+ years now, but after the recent merger, the lineup has gone downhill. I'm very much considering canceling my service, and from reading forums and such, it doesn't seem like I'm the only one.
Satellite radio is great because you can drive across the country and be listening to the same station anyplace. Oh wait, I meant streaming Internet radio stations through broadband wireless services like EVDO and WiMax is great.
Ever since Sirius-XM went live last week, their stock (SIRI) has plummeted! I have yet to find a blog post on the recent change that doesn't have comment about canceling their subscription. My own subscription is on borrowed time as I'm continually disappointed by commercial filled, AM/FM type channels. I think you've accurately called this one, Mike!
Yes the market is changing.I have canceled my Sirius subscription. But I as long as a satellite can beam audio everywhere, it will beat the high cost of infrastructure in terrestrial radio. If you are on the road "space radio" is still king. newradio
I've been a happy XM subscriber for 4+ years. Once I started streaming internet radio from my iPhone to the truck, I canceled my XM subscription immediately. There are plenty of cheaper alternatives to satellite radio. BlueFAQs.com
