Fuck XM!
Unbeknownst to us, XM started charging Mrs. B and I $12.95 a month, up from their usual $9.95. A notice would have been nice. Time to switch to Sirius, so I can get Underground Garage, Howard Stern and NFL.

1. Same rate as Sirius...
Check it out:

"Once you've picked your SIRIUS system, choose a subscription plan. They start at only $12.95/mo. and offer several money-saving long-term options. Remember: Every subscription plan gets you every SIRIUS channel."

2. Right. But for the same amount I get those three things I mentioned.
Especially NFL, since I am a Steelers fan living in Cleveland.

3. True...
But, I'm disappointed to see there is no competition
in the rates between the two systems.

In reading more... There is a $75.00 fee if you cancel
before the end of a "bargain period". That's just wrong!

4. And another thing...the Delphi Roady is a complete P.O.S.
The antenna shorts out all the time.

A Browns fan might hear you.

9. I got a notice
a month or two ago. There was a special deal if you signed up for 1,2 or 3 yrs. I took the 3yr and it came to something like $8.50 mo that way. Give them a call.

10. I did too
got the notice and promptly lost it. Forgot all about it and now pay $12.95 a month. I bought the Roady2 for my wife's birthday and got another one for free 3 weeks later. The 3 months I signed up for came to $20.92 which comes to $6.98 a month.
