SXM still giving discounts

[John2021]

Glad I paid $300 many years ago for a lifetime subscription. As if I had to pay for it now I wouldnt subscribe anymore.

The quality has gone way down hill.

what quality??? the audio quality. that's always been a topic of concern though the xm side aways had the better quality between the two and sxm had stern back in the days but lousy audio quality. the talk channels are complete sh*t when it comes to the audio quality!!!

They lost me 15 years ago. I have not missed them one bit.

why pay for it when you can make thumb drives up and have better audio quality and not having to loose signal weather it be using the app or a radio??? plus i can play what i want when i want and not what someone chooses for me and with no dj's free of charge. i don't miss it. i sure in the hell am not going to miss the rate the yearly rate game. if they can give discounts then why in the hell can't they lower rates so we dont have to keep calling in and playing the rate game???

My main gripe about SiriusXM is all of the single artist and payola channels. If they want to have them, fine, but make them streaming only and bring back the exiled channels to the main line up.

Single artist channels:

18 - The Beatles
20 - Bruce Springsteen
22 - Peal Jam
23 - Grateful Dead
29 - Phish
30 - Dave Mathews Band
31 - Tom Petty
32 - U2
76 - Elvis

Why???

Plus the ones the payola channels for Kelly Clarkson, Christ Stapleton, Pitbull and countless others.

To get this list I'm looking at the online music player, I see Lady Googoo has a channel now, and channel 2 is something called Unwell Music with a description of 'Daddy's Unwell Soundtrack'. What in the hell is that supposed to be/even mean? Nevermind, I probably don't want to know.


I'll stream some of the Xtra channels at work, but they get repetitive. Today was Hard Attack and Level Up.

I still buy single tracks for songs I like on Amazon for $1.29 a pop. Sometimes I like listening to 'radio' and sometime II like listening to the collection I've built up with iTunes, Google Play and Amazon. Depends on what I feel like at any particular moment.

I'll agree with you on that!!!

I was able to get Sirius XM in two cars @ $99 for 3 years. Here's the link:

Unfortunately, that didn't work on-line for my XC60:

They did offer a $4/mo deal for one year which is $1/mo better than the mailers they've been sending me.

But maybe I should try Mrs. Foxbat's Regal when it comes up for renewal in a few months. In the meantime I stream through the app using her account.

That also happened to me on my 2024 Model S. I had to call 2-3 times until someone let me do it. It was a pain, but worth it since it was on $99 total for the 3 years. At the same time I added it to my Jeep Wrangler for $120 for the 3 years. That also included 3 years of traffic for the navigation. I was on the phone for about 45 minutes to get both vehicles done.
