Yes they are going the route of cable where you can add additional receivers for a nominal fee and additional channels, satellite weather, etc. You have to get the radio, receiver, antenna and subscription along with an activation fee, unless you activate online then the fee is waived for a limited time only! ha ha I haven't seen one package yet that includes everything.. you have to buy everything separately which runs about $300 from what I've seen.

I'm kind of over having to buy new equipment all the time, upgrading, transferring to a new format etc. etc. It's my belief that the new receivers are purposefully basic so you'll have to upgrade in the future at triple the price or more. Tis the way of industry these days.

Why do you choose XMS over Sirius?
