I LOVE my Sirius. I've held a subscription for 7 years and its so worth it. I like the freedom to explore music genre's not heard on mainstream radio. Bluesville, channel 70, Margaritaville, channel 24? Plus all of the classic rock stations and country, bluegrass as well as all of the comedy stations have me HOOKED!!!

Getting back to the original question. I'll have my '11 3yrs this coming June. I have had Sirrus turned on the entire time. I have never paid more than $5 a month. The trick? A couple days before it expires, I call up and say I do not want to renew so cancel it. They say "why", I say because it costs too much. They start to offer a bunch of things and I keep saying No. Eventually they offer me something that is ~$5 a month (most times the 5 months for $25). The first couple of times I got something that was a longer duration. I haven't come out and said "give me 5 for $25", just say No until you get that far; might be 2 or 3 offers before they get to ~$5 a month.
Yes, every 5 months I have a to call and do it again. Each time I'm thinking my luck will run out and they will just say screw it and cancel me, but I just did this a couple days ago.
NOTE: they do have a couple dollars for taxes, but one time I even got that waived :)

True, but Pandora is free lol. Then there's always downloading. I mean its not bad, just more than I'd wanna spend, but I'm also not big on radio. I rather pick the exact song I wanna listen to.

They want to charge me $15 a month. The few times I did try it I noticed very little music variety and with all the trees it cut out quite a bit. I'm indecisive...but usually I'd rather pull out my ipod.

I ended up with a lifetime subsription cuz i was about to cancel becuase there are really no stations with a decent variety and it kept cutting in and out on me. They blamed it on trees but there are no trees on the throgs neck bridge!! but b4 I could they already billed my Credit card for 3 more years. After bitching A LOT I ended up with lifetime. I NEVER USE IT!. Use my ipod cuz NY radio sux!

I had Sirius in my truck for a long time, it is great if you have really long drives or travel a lot for work. You don't have to worry about finding a channel and it is easy to turn on and off if you are getting in and out of the car a lot. I got tired of the stations though and even though it doesn't have commercials they still get in pretty good ruts with the music.

With that said I canned it when I was done with that job and have moved on to Spotify. It is 10 a month but it is literally almost every song in the world at the touch of a button. It works on my droid phone, computers, and ipad. It is basically like linking to an Itunes store but everything is free. You are essentially renting the music instead of purchasing. You can download them to the device when there are times you wont have internet which is cool. You can sync your ipod to it at home and download almost any music and then take the ipod with you. Buying one CD on itunes is more than this a month.

You can create playlists, search, star songs for later and play a radio station based on any song in the catalog. Anyway just giving you another option. They will just about give you a free subscription when you call to cancel though if you keep bartering with them. Sometimes it is fun to screw with them.

I think you will like it, I would also be surprised other than local indie bands if there is an artist you cant find on there. I like it because they usually have a lot of live stuff for the Jam bands I listen to, hard to come by sometimes.
