Channel 59 is 100% Led Zeppelin 24/7. Even if there were no other channels, how the hell could you not renew based on that alone???

Yes, I'll be renewing. Do they send you a notice telling you that you are about to expire?

I won't be, the only thing I really listen to is sports talk which they have but Sirius has all the NBA and NFL broadcasts while XM has Baseball and Hockey. What a damn shame.

I was at the LA Auto Show and I went to the XM booth. I asked about renewing it and the lady worker suggested I renew, once i receive the letter in the mail. She said it was about $12+ a month which = about $144+ a yr. She said that XM is so desperate to keep you as a subscriber, that if you decline, they will work the price down to possibly $70 for the year.

So, don't be too quick to renew without a little threat of not renewing. At least pay them a call and say "No, Thanks," and see what they have to say.

She also said that XM and Sirius will "hopefully" soon be merging. It was put through, and they are waiting for the approval.....

+1 I heard all you have to do is call up and ask for the $70/yr deal. Mine hasnt expired yet, but this is what I plan on doing.

I haven't even signed up for the 3 free months, so no, I won't be paying for it.

^^I may be wrong, but I think it's already activated when it comes with the car. You just get a notice when its about to expire.
