I didn't comment that I was always treated professionally whenever I did
contact them by phone. As I say, I do receive offers by email but I get a
lot of offers from other vendors too and if I'm not interested, I simply
press the DELETE key.

I'm glad they treated you well. Have you ever had to cancel service for a
time and how were you treated then? We couldn't find a way to cancel or
pause service online.

Hello Tina and everyone,
We’re big fans of SiriusXM and have it on all of our
devices. We have not experienced pushiness from them at all. When
we’ve had to call them we were treated very well. We’ll use them to
replace Music Choice a music service available from Spectrom but will
go away when we shift to a cheaper plan or cut the cord entirely. I’ll
be putting on Symphony Hall one of their classical channels when I get
down stairs in a while. Hope this helps.

Lifetime subscriptions were offered to customers of XM Radio when
Sirius and XM merged as certain aspects changed. I doubt they offer
those subscriptions anymore.
I rarely speak to their Customer Service and just go to their
websiteto make adjustments if needed.
I do get lots of offers tobuy a new radio but all of them requires
thatanothersubscription isobtained so I merely pressthe DELETE key and
move on.

We tried serious briefly. They were nice until we needed to make
changes or just cancel the subscription for a while. Then they got really
really pushy.
Otherwise that might have worked. We find that we could get a local
channel best with the antenna in NBC, which I really like, didn't work
out too well although they are making changes to their equipment and
and things next month which should boost the signal. But that still
leaves ABC and CBS also so like you're finding, got $65 it might be
worth to just keep the cable. We don't know. We haven't decided
anything either way. There is something called LoCast, which is
supposed to offer your local channels, but last time we used it it was
not very accessible at all unless you have some vision and we don't
really so that didn't work for us. How do you get a lifetime
subscription to Sirius and are they still offering that? And how is
support for you when you call in to deal with them for anyone who has
serious for that matter maybe we just got somebody who felt like they
needed to be pushy for a sale? Or is that typical of serious support

Ironically though I have more issues with CBS and ABC but NBC and FOX
are available. I prefer CBS and ABC though so if I can stream those
somehow, I would be happy. There are so many sources for old TV
shows and movies that are free that there's not enough time in my
daily life! To be able to watch all of that media.
There is Hulu but I think $65 per month is getting close to if I were
merely downsize my current cable subscription.
Since Amazon purchased MGM, it will be interesting what emerges from
this acquisition. So if they would just offer Prime TV plus MGM plus
my local TV channels, I'd be very satisfied.
I have a Lifetime subscription with Sirius/XM and so I can get CNN,
certain financial channels and lots of sports and I really don't need
the video although Sirius/XM does offer some streaming video.

Hello Tina and everyone,
You Tube TV, Sling TV, and Fubo TV include local channels though you
may not be able to receibe PBS.
Another issue you may encounter with these services is that
network channels such as ABC, NBC, and CBS may not stream programs in
your local market. We discovered this Monday evening when we wanted to
watch the Texas Caveleer's River Parade an event that is held during
San Antonio's city-wide celebration called Fiesta. Since we still have
our Spectrom service we were able to pull up our ABC Affiliate and
enjoyed the river parade. Spectrom has an Internet only service you
can stream via the Internet eliminating the need for a set-top box and
an antenna. This plan includes your local channels, a few selected
cable channels, and 10 additional cable channels you can add to your
subscription. If we went this route we would pay about
$100.00 per month down from $150.00 using the set-top box and our
current Spectrom subscription. Everyone's situation is different.
Might I suggest putting a pencile to it to decide if you want to
completely eliminate your cable subscription or if you want to keep a
basic subscription to avail yourself of in-market channel programming.

Hi. We may be in the minority here, but we're in an apartment with
someone above us. so an antenna isn't an option and the indoor ones
we've tried didn't work well. In addition to cable cutting we 're
interested in finding accessible ways to get local channels too if anyone
knows of such a thing.
We're using devices running android 11, fire tablets and a fire stick,
and windows 10 laptop using jaws, system access and NVDA.
