Steve_T Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) So, our free trial period is about to expire, and we've recieved an offer in the mail with a discount on a one year subscription. Upon browsing the Sirius Canada website, if you click on the 'at home' option, they're offering a free Onyx home kit with a one year subscription. My question is, if I choose this option, can I also use the same subscription in the car, for the same price? I'm assuming it's similar to satellite TV, with multiple receivers on one account. I guesss I'll find out later, as I'm planning on calling, but looking for other's experiences.

silenze Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 No you need a separate subscription for each receiver dhh3 and Animal Mother 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 I call every 5 months and tell them to cancel, then I get another 5 months for $25 US. Been doing it since my free year ran out. They will try to keep you. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_T Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) So, I just called Sirius Canada, silenze is right, need a separate subscription for each radio, damn. But I was offered the service for basically $10/month cdn, which is much better than $15.99/mo, but has to be paid in full up front. They also offered me the free Onyx home kit, but would also be an additional $9.99/mo. I don't need satellite radio that bad, but regular radio here in Ottawa is absolutely terrible. I dearly.miss Xfm! Edited April 30, 2016 by Steve_T dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_T Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 I think I'm just going to get a better data plan for my phone so I can stream Stingray and TuneIn Radio. Heck, if I miss Sirius, I could just use their app, but why pay them, when there's other, probably better solutions. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 We have had "free" Sirius for about 4 months now. I think they forgot to turn ours off when they had a free weekend awhile back. Lol OhareFred and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtsr Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 They are aggresive , bought the new Cherokee less than a month ago and Sirius Canada called asking me to extend my years free subscription. They only wanted $4.99 a month for a 6 month extension - I passed. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody168 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I would consider the radio subscription, however the music quality is real bad (low bit rate). The only stations that sounds good were the Classic Music channels, all others sounded like it came from a can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camper Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Not only quality issue, they played the same songs over and over for month and charge for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Have not had a lot of experience with it as of yet but music I have listened to has been the acceptable quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silenze Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 All you guys should have your radio active right now. Its free through memorial day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_T Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Funny, our cut-off date was May 18th, and it continued to work until this afternoon, I guess I'm not getting it free for the weekend. As far as the sound quality of Sirius, I have to agree that it's not great, maybe on par with some FM stations, but compared to say, my ipod, or even streaming Stingray, it's pretty obvious the sound quality difference.
