I honestly do not have a clue.

Actually I think it is a lame idea charging a sub for radio service IMHO.
I'm sure that satellite delivered radio is well received by some who spend
hours in their cars, but it isn't for me. I won't be buying nor paying any
money to anyone for a pay radio service. The only reason I play for TV now
is because if I didn't out here in no-TV land we won't get anything (nothing
but snow on conventional TV channels). So it is TV delivered via satellite
or nothing and to keep harmony at home out here in the sticks were there are
no malls etc  ....

But satellite radio for money, I've draw a line at the satellite dish. ;-)
