So today I was talking to an older relative of mine. She knows that I have had Sirius for quite a few years now. Just the other month she said her and her husband switch to Dish Network and she has fallen in love listening to Sirius on Dish. I asked her if she is going to get it for her car and she said "No, I don't travel enough to really have it, so why would I pay for it when I get it included for free?"
Very valid point. I am sure there are plenty of other people in this same boat that use the service but don't pay for it (directly, at least). When SiriusXM is factoring in subscriber totals, do they do anything with the Dish/Directv users of the SiriusXM service?
On a fairly related topic, does anyone know how the partnership works? Is Sirius providing the service free of charge to Dish (and XM with Directv) or is there some sort of financial agreement worked out? I sure hope Sirius is getting paid for it.
