Who has XM or Sirius?

RUGERGUNZ
What do you think of the proposed merger?

I for one am against it. Competition is good for business. If there is only one satellite radio company, what will restrict pricing>


Also, I just upgraded radios believing that after the merger I would be fine. The new merger details states that to get the newest pay option (lower pay for selected channels) you will need a new radio.


So what do any of you think?

    I have XM and I am against the merger for the same reasons as you. If they go up in price, I will go back to my I-pod and dump XM.

    I have Sirius, I am against it as well. Correct me if I am wrong but aren't they merging because they are both losing money?

    I have XM and agree with you guys that the merger is not going to be good for us the consumer. However, I would like to get NASCAR back on my (XM) radio so from that aspect I would like to see the merger.

    I've had XM for about 3 1/2 years - now in two cars. I love it although as Maa said losing NASCAR sucks. Give me somthing I want and I'll pay for it! (Please don't tell that to my wife!)

    I love my XM and I have had it for 3 years, It the only way I get to listen to the music I want to listen to. My taist are very eccletic as I listen to everything from death metal and alternitive to classical and jazz. The local stations here in SoCal all play the same rehashed crap or it is all in spanish.
    I am unsure if I am for or against the merger. I do not believe they would be able to raise the rates after the merger due to the fact that the pubic as a whole does not want to pay a monthly fee for radio, so if they raise the rates they will lose their customer base.

    I have XM and have had it for about two years. Had one to lock up back in the Summer and Delphi sent me a complete new system free of charge. Then XM gave me a year subscription free of charge after they found out that 99% of the places that sale XM radios do not work on them like they told me they could when mine locked up. So I am good until Dec. 2008 if things do not change.

    I do not like the merger and hope that things do not change to much. Even still I will keep a satellite radio.

    For listening to the same 20 songs over and over for a month or more and 18 hours a day listening to screaming car salesmen and Seek'em N Sue'em lawyers is something I just cant put up with running a Dozer 12 hours a day.

    I do wish that at least one channel would pick up Paul Harvey's News and "Rest of the Story" programs. [:)] For that is about the only time that turn the XM off since I have had it.

    edit

    XM needs about a million people tell them to get rid of the GEICO commercials or they will be canceling their service. For that is why I have XM radio and pay for it. So that I do not have to listen to that crap.

    I called xm, I did not want any thing to do with Sinus.
    I was told I could keep my account just as it was.
    so my bill stays the same, xm only.

    Merger will just make the price go up more likely... No competition. But yea, both are loosing money, from what I have heard. So, I guess they gotta do something...

    I love my Sirius, and for all the people who hate Stern, Sirius will have a plan for 6.99 a month for 50 channels, and Howard's channels are NOT available for that rate.
