Well when you do finally decide to join the rest of us you will too agree that satellite radio is a waste of money. Last edited by kdoske; 07-25-2009 at 05:37 PM. |

I love my satellite radios. However, once my verizon contract expires and I get an iphone, I plan on only streaming sirius through the iphone, and not putting a real receiver in the 370.

I usually have a burnt MP3 CD in the changer or plug my MP3 player in but with the added option of plugging my phone in as well with streaming audio its hard to justify Satelite radio.

Sat Radio aka SiriusXm as a business is no where near dead. The company itself is closer to being a profitable company than its ever been. There are subs dropping no question.
The reasons vary from tough economy to just cheap/free solutions such as pandora. I really like the technology, In a few years when the company is really making money it would be nice for them to lower the prices though. |

...and to each his or her own. I'm not ragging on you because you like XM I'm just saying there are some real threats to it and a lot of yet untapped alternatives. I extended mine for three months because I got it cheap but like others were saying its not quite what they advertised and personally I keep flipping back and forth to the local radio stations...

I have had XM since it first came out. I really do love it and never listen to FM or Am anymore, unless I want local sports games or talk. I don't know what Pandora is because I don't have an i-phone and never will until they expand it past AT&T. Internet radio is the future, but it has a ways to go. The car is still the predominant venue for listening to the radio. Once the technology is available to integrate internet radio into a car stereo then you will see the end of XM/Sirius, and most likely AM and FM stations will switch to the web so they can avoid all of the FCC costs.

^^ thanks, that's cool. I have a blackberry storm, so I could probably do the same thing, except the browser on the crackberry is disasterous. I would love to get an i-phone, but AT&T is just terrible as far as reception goes.
