You cannot get just an on-line subscription. I tried to drop down to that
from having a radio, but I was told that you must have at least 1 radio. So
that is what I have, 1 raadio and an internet subscription that I use with
Music Doc.

Hi Pam. You're 100% correct. You can get most of the content in
similar flavors on the web, so there is really no point to subscribing
unless you're looking for sports coverage. There are ways around this
too, though some of them aren't for the less technically oriented, and
probably shouldn't be discussed on list as it's a sort of gray area. I
have tried tu sign up for a subscription a few times, since I wanted
the online only option, but couldn't seem to do so through their
website. I'm certainly not the most advanced screen reader user, but I
consider myself well above average when it comes to navigating the web
with either Safari, Firefox, or Internet Explorer. When I contacted
their customer service people on 3 different occasions, I had such a
difficult time understanding them and they had trouble understanding
me, that I resorted to sending the company emails. Sadly, my questions
were never answered. So they lose out on a customer who would have
paid for the programming because of some specific content, which I'll
have to get elsewhere. It's pretty pathetic when they don't even make
it easy to take your money...

Hi folks,
In a previous thread, someone was asking about the accessibility
to the siriusxm site.
I have until recently subscribed for several years. I finally gave it up
largely to its inaccessibility.
When Sirius & XM were separate entities, their respective sites were
somewhat usable. However, since the merger, the flash & all of the
pretties
for the sighted community's benefit told me they no longer wanted my
money
nor my patronage. Their ipad App is half usable. Last I knew, their
iphone
app was still crap.
I realize we as visually impaired consumers can not stomp our feet &
throw
tantrums; however, if a service takes our money as a subscription
as does siriusxm, or services like it, we deserve a means to facilitate
our business along side our sighted counterparts.
As a general rule their customer service is outsourced
to other parts of the world. Seldom did I find anyone who would help me
take care of anything supposedly accessible on the site. I wish those
luck
who try. I have found plenty of accessible content on the web that more
than makes up for the inadequacies of siriusxm.
