I just finished a free trial with Internet listening - I had to set up an account that would automatically convert to a paid subscription in order to add the internet listening.

I've read that it's possible to negotiate a $77/year package with SiursXM and I'm wondering if anyone has been able to add internet listening to that package.

Thanks!

I've had it included ever since they started charging extra. Just said that I would only renew at that rate IF it included online streaming.

However, I renewed a couple months ago and got a similar 6 month plan and they said it would include streaming. I noticed a $2.99 charge in September and didn't act on it. Then I noticed another one in October. I called and they said that it is a $2.99 per month option, which I already knew, and that there was nothing he could do about it. He asked who said it would be included and I told him the retention agent that gave me the deal. I told him to just cancel my entire service and he did.

I've been a sub since 2004, although at a discounted rate since about 2006. I probably could have hung up and called again and a different agent would have given me the deal. I'm just at the point where I'm not sure I can find the value in their service no matter the discount.

Also, their $77/year package doesn't really exist. They add in the music royalty fee and it works out to about $88/year.
