Free Sirius/XM from November 14, 2012 - November 27, 2012. Turn your radios on!

And when it expires, you should be able to renew for the $24.99 6-month deal A friend of mine, who let his expire, was recently solicited by Siruius/XM to come on back for the $24.99 plan. He jumped at it. I recently renewed one of our three GM vehicles for this same 6-month plan. It only took TWO phone calls to get the right person to give me the deal

for first gens too?

Yes, if equipped. This goes for any XM radio also.

I always call and "cancel" and normally get a deal. I will do this again for the fourth time in a few months. I hope it works.

not exactly 100%, but most channels are being received.

I shouldn't say anything to jinx it, but mine is still working courtesy of the previous owner. He owned it for about 9 months and sold it to the dealer over a year ago, so I guess he bought a lifetime or at least a several year subscription.

To me, $25 for 6 months is more of a reasonable price, since I only really listen to like three channels!

I heard this mentioned a few times on Hair Nation this past week and thought to myself, "I should make a post about this on GV !"

I have the Mostly Music Package which is $9.99 per month. I pay every 3 months and with taxes, etc. it ends up being between about $31.xx and $33.xx. I only listen to maybe 5 or 6 channels at the most. To me this isn't a bad price.

This is the way I look at it...

You could easily purchase an MP3 or iPod, download music, and hit play... I do feel the cost of Sat Radio is expensive considering how hollow the sound is to my ear and the lack of variety - If we were to take a poll, how many different stations/channels does a subscriber listen to? To me, you are paying a premium to listen to the Top 20, certain genre, or etc - which replays all over again in a few hours.

I'll be the oddball out here. I actually listen to the following each and every day:
70's on 7
80's on 8
The Pulse
The Blend
Watercolors
1st Wave
Classic Vinyl
Classic Rewind
Raw Dog
Deep Tracks
I also have about 5 others set on my radio and computer at home to include traffic reports in the Delta Quadrant.

I couldn't live without my XM. In all Siriusness, should my Vibe die, I don't know what I would do because the service has become so expensive. I took a huge gamble 4 years ago and purchased a lifetime policy for $400 when they had a $100 off promo. Sirius/XM was in deep financial troubles and I thought there was a 50/50 shot that I would lose my money. But, since I was still employed, I took the risk and it has paid off. Now that I am retired, I listen to it on my home computer more than ever. My only complaint is that despite me laying out all that money and helping out XM during their startup/financial trouble, they will not allow me to transfer my account to another car should my Vibe fail. I was misled at the time of purchase by dummies manning their phones who told me that it would be transferable once. I now know that is wrong. Should the Vibe die, I still would have XM for life at home, which again, being retired, may be the best news out of the whole deal.
