pntsize says "Love the comercial free listening" about XM Satellite Radio

Same quality of radio as before merger, but miss some of the old favorite DJ's. The quality of the traffic and weather stations are not as good as they use to be. They seem to be focused on the city area only. Which makes it hard for those who commute into the city to stay on top of current traffic situations, without having to switch between the satellite radio and regular radio stations. Also dislike the fact that you now have to pay for internet listening.

trkrbear says "Great radio..Unbelievably bad customer service" about XM Satellite Radio

trkrbear — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 22:58:23 GMT

XM is actually a great way to hear great music...unless you manage to get somewhere that blocks the signal (like under a tree/bridge/garage). Their customer service however is the worst I've EVER experienced.

Example...I attempted to buy ANOTHER radio from the XM site. But I couldn't because they locked my account..why? Because my credit card expired within a month. It didn't matter that my account was paid for 120+ more days, or that the credit card in question had not expired yet. "customer service" in 'India' refused to do ANYTHING until I gave them another credit card (which I refused to do)...The poor guy kept trying to make that sell.."If you will just give me your credit card information",,,That was call #1

Calls 2+3 didn't get me anywhere either (in fact I've been on hold for a supervisor for 52 minutes)..so I'm just going to cancel this stuff and play Pandora in the car.

Bob20002000 says "they will automatically renew your account without authorization" about XM Satellite Radio

Bob20002000 — Fri, 29 May 2009 16:09:55 GMT

XM radio does not have good customer service. I had a 3-year subscription, and a few months ago my unit stopped being authorized before my subscription ran out. 2 long calls with their customer service did not help, so I told them to cancel my service.

Now they believe that I owe them money because they automatically renewed my service- even though I cancelled it. It took much yelling to get the renewal cancelled. I would never, ever use them again.

Internet radio will soon be available in cars everywhere, so I will just wait for that and XM can go away. My IPOD gives me all the music I want anyhow.

Spartyon says "XM Satellite Radio is one luxury you can afford" about XM Satellite Radio

Spartyon — Wed, 06 May 2009 17:51:57 GMT

XM Satellite Radio was included with our new car and I have enjoyed it almost more than the car. Listening to the wide variety of entertainment on the radio make my half hour drive to work so much more enjoyable.

The price is not that extreme so I do not feel guilty with this indulgence.

snowwhiteleggs says "Their customer service is really awful" about XM Satellite Radio

snowwhiteleggs — Tue, 05 May 2009 15:58:02 GMT

I have used XM for about 5 years and enjoyed the music. I recently closed my account to save money and they charged me any way. I have called them three times and each time they say they have credited my account and it will appear on my statement in 72 hours. I think they are trying to make ends meet in this bad economy by charging their customers even when they cancel and then apologyizing and delaying the refund. The music was good but regular radio is just fine and it doesn't cost you. I have to say my husband used it quite often at the jobsite and found it very good. If you go with XM make sure you want to stay because they will charge you any way. I originally was introduced to the product through a free trial when I purchased a new car. We still have Xm in a new truck we purchased and will keep it until the trial period runs out. In fact we were going to sign up for an additional period before all this started with trying to get a refund buy have decided not to.

dlynn19 says "Can't live without it" about XM Satellite Radio

dlynn19 — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:30:56 GMT

XM came free for 30 days when I bought my new car. I had no intention of keeping it after the trial period.......

Well, now it is something I cannot live without. And the online XM, is awesome as well. I listen to it everyday at work, and could not live a day without it. I highly recommend it!!!!

sissypoll says "It is so great to listen to music without commercials." about XM Satellite Radio

sissypoll — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:53:07 GMT

I have XM Radio in my suburban. I love it. It is so nice to listen to music and not have to have it interrupted with commercials. It is great also to be able to listen to music while going thru remote areas that don't have radio stations. You can listen to continual music without interruption. It is also very affordable. It is great!...

casssidrm says "It's paying for regular channels..." about XM Satellite Radio

casssidrm — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 23:52:10 GMT

I used to love having XM radio. It was amazing service, no commercials for a slight fee. But, about 5 months ago or so they merged with Sirius Radio and it has been the worse service ever. The songs are all repeated through the day, they talk most of the day, and the worse besides the same songs, the talking is the commercials! I called to cancel why would I pay for a service that is just like a regular radio station. Save your money unless your a person who likes specific music, such as AC/DC, then this is a great service for you. For those that like variety or new songs on the channels that are to be current songs and no commercials SAVE YOUR MONEY!

*This is for a radio already installed in the vehicle.*

nitenrse44 says "One of the greatest things since "sliced bread"!!!" about XM Satellite Radio

nitenrse44 — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 18:21:16 GMT

My biggest exposure to XM Radio came with my 2006 Saturn Vue I purchased as a retirement gift for ME! Listening to XM for the first free months had me hooked..... I now pay for my service by a 2 year contract to get the best value for my money. We even bought a portable unit for my husband to use in his vehicle and then move to the motor home when we go on trips..... We cannot imagine not having the XM choices and variety of music, sports, weather, and talk radio.... Only problem we have encountered is the antenna reception with the portable unit....it is not as strong as the unit in my Vue......

podunk1234 says "XM Satellite products are very reasonable when it comes to price" about XM Satellite Radio

podunk1234 — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 17:19:30 GMT

I recently purchased an XM radio and I have been very happy with the service they provide. The choices of music channels are very well-rounded, and one can always stay in touch with current events on the many news channels that are available. The monthly fee is about 50 cents per day, and it is worth every penny spent. If you are tired of the same old programming on your local radio stations then XM is the way to go. I purchased mine at my local Best Buy store, and I highly recommend it as a great gift this holiday season!!...

canuckmum says "XM Satellite Radio is great when traveling from state to state" about XM Satellite Radio

canuckmum — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:17:19 GMT

We travel by road quite frequently and XM iSatellite Radio ss always with us. We have our favorite channels and never miss out on news or have a variety of comedy or music to choose from as well. It's very cost effective, but we're finding a lot of the channels are sneaking in commercials and this is what we thought we were paying for - commercial free radio. The only downside is when you pass a stand of tall trees you lose reception. Now, that's funny considering if you go under a bridge you DON'T lose reception - go figure!

dogpatch9757 says "loving it" about XM Satellite Radio

dogpatch9757 — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 01:58:07 GMT

I too received 3 months free with a new vehicle. I really enjoy XM Radio. The choice of era's of music, broadway, kids stations. If I don't like something, I hit another station. Always has something. No disc jockey banter. Just signed up for another 3 months at $4.95/month. It's worth that. I don't feel it's worth more than 5 bucks/month....
