Recently got the brides' car inspected at the dealer, just got an e mail from SiriusXm radio, as a thank you they will reactivate the Sat radio for three months, no credit card required, Followed the steps & it worked, no credit card asked for.

I've done that a few times between our 2 cars and they got me figured out. I haven't seen a free 3 monther in over a year, but the snail mail and email continues to advertise the "Best Rate Ever". There's no way I can justify paying for satellite. First, 90% of my car round trips are 20 min or less. Second, with all the tall trees around here, the signal gets interrupted frequently.
 
I hear you on the not being justified. For me when I'm heading to my hunting camp upstate for about an hour or so I'm in an area that doesnt get or at least very sporadically get a signal with terrestrial radio it makes sense for me. I also have the app on my phone and have a little speaker so I can listen on my boat.
 
I have it on my pickup, was paying a promotion rate of $90 for a few years, every year I called to cancel & they gave me the promotion rate back, a few months ago I called to cancel & they refused to give me the $90 rate so I said turn it off which they did. About 6 weeks later got snail mail from them offering 12 months for $5 a month so I took it for the pickup, but never had a subscription for the brides' car.

Dissatisfied wit Sirius, tinny music, talk news ok but ain’t worth it...

Can get whatever with cellular through iPhone into car... better sound by far, cell towers are always a few miles away, satellite is 200 miles...

got Sirius satellite down to $5.00 month... that’s it... cellie...

Sirius music selection is stiff...

also, when I was in Florida without local cable TV, I was able to open my spectrum account for remote viewing, via iPhone...

Apple TV box was helpful too... cellie...

Not in these parts, cell service is a privilege, not a right, LOL.

Still wouldn't live anywhere else, that's why God invented USB thumb drives for your vehicles, ripped CDs for your home distributed system, and ripped CDs for you cell phone...

I do understand that some Luddites at this site actually put CDs in a player to listen. That is historically hysterical!!!

Ah, the usual suspects will defend their silicon-based incompetence. I have over 300 CDs in a box in my basement. Once they're ripped, I have no use for them unless I have multiple hard drive crashes, which for me means, both the redundant RAID drives they're ripped to AND the two drives that I back up that RAID array to all have to fail at the same time. Now we're talking two chances of that ever happening, slim and none. And even if the house burns down, the backup drives are stored in a fireproof box. I take "saving" more seriously than some popular deities...

However, if someone were to defend their use of LPs on an analog system with tubes in both their amp and preamp, I would be more than happy to defer to them. The sound is superior than anything digital, but the portability is challenging...
