2007 Audi Q7: Satellite Radio Isn't Cheap

In the midst of a ninth inning rally by the Dodgers, our 3-month free trial subscription to SIRIUS satellite radio expired. We called SIRIUS and spent $142.45 to reactivate our radio. That bought us a 1-year subscription plus another promotional 3-months.

By the time our radio was back in business the game was over. The Dodgers lost, but they're still in first place...

If only they can keep it up for the next 100 or so games of the season.

Was the A/C vent/grille fixed or replaced under warranty, Mike?

For those of you wondering about XM, I just do the 12.95 p/month plan, which thanks to my trusty computer calculator adds up to $155.40. XM's year plan is $142.25 with only one month free. I should probably get that, eh?
 
I pay an additional $6.95 p/month for my Samsung Helix portable XM player. This is XM's family plan price, which meant I didn't have to pay an activation charge.

$142.45 is a fair price for static-free baseball.
 
...and those other few hundred channels for the off-season. May I suggest 118, Radio Classics.
 
(PS: Go, Red Sox)

I agree that it's worth the price for out-of-market baseball. As for the Post Script, I disagree. Go Blue Jays. May your team be befallen with injuries as well.

Tough break losing Roy, jriz. He's a helluva competitor, I'm always a little nervous when he comes to town.
