George, you do bring up an excellent point I completely glossed over. I have had nothing but troubles with the XM-Sirius (and with XM prior the merger) website and its pathetic attempts at providing facilities for customer self-service. I struggled trying to activate radios online, but eventually had to resort to calling a person, however, that I do not recall that being a problem. Obviously, my reason for dialing in was very different, they viewed me as additional revenue and you as an expense.

My experience with the service involves built in car-radios, I’m not going to invest in a docking station, as I can get the music content I crave from free Internet streams (.e.g. WCPE online, and gdradio.net).

Thanks for providing the feedback.
