Just one more opinion or observation: I too have had XM for 5 years and really enjoy it over land-based radio. The things about NASCAR and NFL (if subjects like these are your buying points) are that XM will carry one of those for a few years and then Sirius will carry it for a few years. Kinda like they are both trying to get customers to come on board.
Yes, they are trying to merge and it has been said that both companies are trying to make it a mutual "good" thing that will not alienate the customers from either company. Right now some jack#$# senator is trying to make them jump some stupid hoops before he will give his "blessing" to the merger. He is obviously being paid handsomely by the big radio-station owners as they are very scared at this moment due to losing customers by the crap-loads due to satellite radio, Ipods and MP3 players.
Sirius and XM both have said that WHEN the merger goes through, your current receivers will still work and they think they will go to more of a "pick and choose" kind of payment choice. Meaning you can pick packages that you want to pay and listen to.
Also....O & A PARTY ROCKS!!!!!
