  1. I'm doing the month to month option currently, but here's what I understand....

     

    1) It is the life of the radio, BUT, if your radio is still in warranty, whether it's the original manufactur warranty, or an extended warranty from where you bought it, if the radio is replaced instead of repaired, Sirius will transfer the lifetime sub to that new radio.

     

    2) It's up to you. As I said, I've only got one radio so I do the monthly. But some people that have bought multiple radios, make one a lifetime, because the other subs will be at a discount rate, I think it was $6.99/month. So even if the original radio dies, they keep it listed on their account to continue getting the discount.

     

    Make sure you check out my Sat Radio post. There's one link there to Sirius Backstage, it's a fan based forum, like TBD, that doing a search can answer many of your questions.

  2. I thought the episode was pretty good, but disappointing for a final episode. But that may be the way they wanted it to feel. I felt after it was over that I really wanted to see more episodes. Do you understand what I'm saying?

     

    The two new guys, at first I thought they were really out of their element, but by the end of the show they started to fit in. Not very well, but they were.

     

    And the 1 hour recap show before, it could have easily been two hours in my opinion.

     

    And I was surprised to find out that Season 7 was basically written as they shot the episodes.

  3. That being said, when I first started driving, and gas on the res was $.68 for regular, people always said they would "never" pay $2.00 a gallon. Well, I'm not seeing any gas stations going out of business...

    I remember just over 10 years ago, not pay over $1 cause I knew I could find it cheaper. Then about 4 years ago when it was hitting $1.30-$1.40 wondering if I should drive my car instead with the better gas mileage. Now I wish it would get back down to the $1.50-$1.60 range.

  4. Price Hike Puts XM in Orbit

     

    Satellite radio stocks surged early Monday as sector heavyweight XM Satellite (XMSR:Nasdaq - news - research) set a 30% price hike.

     

    The Washington, D.C., pay radio shop said it would boost its monthly charge to $12.95 from $9.99 as of April 2. But XM said current users could lock in their current rate or better by prepaying for periods ranging from one to five years. The company pointed out that it has sharply expanded its basic service roster in recent years without boosting the price.

    First they copied Sirius by dropping the commercials from their music channels. Now they're making online streaming part of the basic service (it was pay to use before) like Sirius. Even their price will be the same as Sirius.

  5. My wife has explained to me that the only reality shows worth watching are the ones produced by Mark Burnett, who does Survivor, The Apprentice, and her all-time favorite, The Amazing Race (I think that's what it's called, right?).  I could care less.  They're all pseudo TV, courtesy of the last actors' strike.  Thanks, Hollywood.  Or, should I thank the real source of most TV programming, the BBC?

    Those you mention are "contest" reality shows. Makeover is not a contest as KRC mentioned. Just watch one episode, you'll be bawling like a baby when it's over.

  6. Well, it is as much "looking for advice" as plain old venting about a situation.  As such, I wouldn't call this a LAMP myself. 

     

    At least judging from responses, that's how this thread has turned, and as such it can be useful to anyone who has "issues" with their bosses...
