>>>Well, He is one of the main reasons I would never get Sirius, the other being that I distrust the model, I am sure once they reach some threadshold of subscribers, it won't be advertisement free anymore.

>Well, that is, in part an excellent example, for is what I fear it will became satellite tv (the rest of the example is just silly), the TV I mean. They always move the stuff I watch to subscriptions channels, last one was a couple of days ago, I watch NBA and one of the channels is Raptors TV, I tried to watch a game and I got the "You need to subscribe" message, I am really poffed I pay 140 dollars for their "top tier" or whatever you want to call it programming, but everytime I want to watch something I end up finding that is a subscription channel or PPV, and that on top that 80% (just a guesstimate) of the channels have advertisement! (And I do not know about the U.S. or Canada, but when Cable started in Argentina, the big deal with it was that by paying the monthly fee you had advertisement free programming).

Dump it. Then it's free, and you'll have more spare time.
