I use the pandora app on my truck and phone. Way better and it is free 24/7.

Huh...I've been out since late August or September...no calls. I did receive a survey from them that asked me what it would take to earn my business. Apparently, they weren't willing to meet my expectations. My truck is going into storage for the winter in 2 weeks so it's probably better that I don't have the subscription turned on now.

Anybody else like Howard Stern? Thats all my XM stays tuned to for some reason. I hate reruns, but his new content is great. He has big name people on there all the time and gets them to answer questions that no other person would dare to ask..... Feedback on Howard...

Personally, I think he's about as scummy as any person can get. I won't listen to him or anyone like him.

That's what I used to think, but some of his stuff is good. I'm not that type of person either that is white trash, I think I'm pretty refined. But Howard just brings me back. Might be my little white trash secret.

I listen to the satellite more than regular radio or CD's. Mostly talk radio though.


Get off my lawn!

I just got my notice in the mail last week that my trial period is going to expire in December. They can turn it off for all I care. All I want is the nav system. When I am out and about my ham radio is on so I don't use the serious anyway. The only times its been on are when I am REALLY bored or when others are along for the ride that want to listen to something.

If serious wants to offer me a super low ball deal then I might take it, otherwise they can turn mine off and I won't miss it

I am curious as to what other features are tied in with that besides all the "I" tab goodies, traffic, and music. Anyone know?

I've been a fan since 1989... had a boss that got me into him. Howard is the reason I got Sirius. These days, I can take him or leave him... the show just isn't what it used to be. I can't say Howard has gotten soft, because we all change, but the show's content is weak anymore. I still tune in, but not as much anymore. He still does make me laugh, though.

My XM on my 350 stopped after the free period.

On my pathfinder however I continued to receive it 2 years after it ran out.

I prefer the local radio anyway and only used sat outside of the city, but now use CD's or MP3's. I would never pay for sat personally.
