    You're my new best friend, I can honestly say I hate watching all sports, live in person or otherwise. I would rather play and even then.... Meh. I bought a Toyota, let go wheeling damnit!

    I'm a lightweight, as long as you don't give me a road-pop, I'll stay on the trail. I won't hate on anyone who loves sports, but while I'm out :mudding:you'll be in on the weekend cheering on your favorite team :ohsnap: and making fun of the other team :poking:

    I guess when you say it with emoticons, it makes it all better!

    What were we talking about again?:stayontopic:

    Oh right... I don't need Sirius cause sports radio is a snore :D

    XM telemarketer called me about an hour ago. Should of just let it ring as I'm moving out tomorrow and he can call this number all he wants after I unplug it in the morning. Take care Brother Tacoma owners. DSL won't be turned on till March 3rd. Later..

    Have had Sirius xm since 2007. Love it. It's great for traveling. In the dessert, on the plains or in the mountains. Occasionally in the mountains or in a tunnel it will cut out, but not like the good old days of am or fm radio. No hassel, great coverage, don't need to worry about any gadgets or cell phone reception. Sports, news,music, comedy. Got the $5.00 per month deal for 6 months.

    I like Met Opera. Only thing I listened to when I had it free on another car.

    The Amazon music thing looks great (just downloaded, thanks!) and I have unlimited data (well I have no idea if work kept unlimited data for me or not but I don't pay for it so not my issue if they did not keep it).

    Maybe...maybe not: http://www.statista.com/statistics/252812/number-of-sirius-xms-subscribers/

    Love how folks say something is worthless when it doesn't fit into their world. Currently, there's over a little less than 30 million SiriusXM subscribers that like the product for a variety of reasons (Churn/Subscriber turnover around 1.6-1.9%). If you are in it for only music, I agree, you can get your fix many ways. For me though, I will gladly pay the monthly fee just to have access to Tom Petty Buried Treasure shows. Others like access to sports and others to Fox or other news shows. Pandora/Spotify...ya, I remember when they Sirius and XM first merged that Pandora was supposed to "kill" satellite radio. That didn't quite happen.

    We used it on a 10K mile road trip this past late summer/fall and for the most part it was great. However, we had our absolute worst coverage in the wide open parts of Utah and Nevada. Had no problems at all anywhere in the Colorado Rockies.

    To the guy thinking about shorting the stock. Good luck with that (You missed a good opportunity back in November). Big Reward comes with Big Risk. From what I can see, Auto Sales are forecast to increase through 2017 which is all good news for SiriusXM. Content is King and as long as Sirius has content (and a lot of exclusive content) they'll remain relevant.

    I've got two months left on my 90 day trial and I plan to renew after. I can get an OK FM signal for about five country stations where Im at and thats about it. For some reason however the XM signal is incredible and strong.....which is odd because cell phone reception can be shitty sometimes up here. The exact reason why I have a flip phone.

    Great sound quality and it never cuts out. Howard Stern is also a plus.

    I have had Sirius since day one & received a lifetime subscription for my birthday back in the day & only pay $7 for my other receivers.

    I drove on a free subscription for almost a year when I bought my tundra & never had the service turned off when I did the radio swap in my 13 taco... It's been free.
