Our service on both receivers is Sirius Select and The Best of XM, I think currently 160 channels. The ANNUAL bill on one (paid in two installments) is $159.00. The annual bill on the second, and because we have two subscriptions, is $109.00 (also paid in two installments). It's such a valuable service to us, and well worth what we pay for it, that I don't mess with playing the, "I'm not gonna renew..." game and just let it renew automatically every year. Stories that they will renew without notification are just that...stories. I always get advance notification of pending renewals via email, postal mail (with the newest channel lineup list), and via messages on my Sirius receivers.
We have Sirius on three vehicles, so paying full price, even with the discount fou multi radios, is out of the question.
They most certainly will automatically renew. Yes, you get a renewal notice (e mail if they have it), but if you look at the contract, you have agreed to automatically renew. You have to specifically opt out and they will remove your cc info from their computer.
Don't worry about playing the game. Usually you don't even have to. I received a renewal notice, but it didn't say which vehicle it was for. I called just to find out, and they asked if I called to cancel because the price was too high. They offered a reduced price without me even mentioning it.
You would think they would just offer the service at a reasonable price, but I guess as long as folks are willing to pay full price, they're willin to charge it.
