I began subscribing to Sirius AND XM the moment it was available in my area -- much for the same reason that in the 70s I began subscribing to HBO -- alternative programming & commercial free. Since 2001, XM/Sirius has effectively changed their product into what is already available free over the airwaves. The "commercial-free" stations are cluttered with self promos and DJ chatter. Ugh! Sorry...I'm not renewing. And, I have written many times about this -- never had a response, never had any human contact me. Dismal customer service to boot. Bye, XM/Sirius
