Considering renewal for 6 months only for $34. I don't like the fact that you have to call and cancel subscription to stop continuous billing after that. Totally shady IMHO but, I know that's the way this crap is today. Had their 3 month trial and it's expiring March 1st. Anything to watch out for with this outfit?? I could only imagine how difficult how hard they make it to cancel a subscription to stop access to my account. I won't lose any sleep if I don't get it.

    They are totally aggravating to deal with IMO/IME; we gave up long ago.

    I've also had them for years - almost exclusively for their baseball channel - and had no problems. When I removed a couple of radios from the subscription it was easy.

    They never deal unless you call and threaten to cancel. And then only if you agree to auto bill. I had it for years when commuting 3+ hours a day. If they put any effort into offering reasonable prices and training their customer service better we'd probably stick with them. As it is we've been going through the process of dropping them one car at a time and soon won't be subscribers anymore.

    I hate dealing with them. Been a subscriber for 8 years and will not call them unless I have to, and even then I usually just avoid it.

    I also hate dealing with them. Came with my new Tacoma, let the subscription lapse and had no refund intention of renewing. They called me multiple times a week for a month despite my asking them to leave me alone. I finally just bought a damn subscription so they would leave me the heck alone

    Others have mentioned some of the things. I'll add this one.
    They wanted us to set up automated payments; we refused. First go around they were acquiescent. When we renewed, we went around and around with them about it & finally just gave up. The service didn't add enough value to be worth the hassle.

    Got renewal letter earleir in the week. $34.10 for 6 months with smuck fees and gave payment info. After the 34.10 charge, they added another dollar for some other fee. Told them to shove it and cancel the deal. Glad I can live without it. They're pretty much like Comcast and have the consumer over the barrel.

    Yes, calling every time your subscription is about to expire is annoying. But it's pretty painless to get them to cave to receive a great rate. Last time I think I got a year for $60 & change. So at least I don't have to deal with them for awhile. Beats the heck out of FM if you drive a lot.
