People take whats GIVEN to them... if you looking at new cars and they GIVE you free sat. radio... you're prob not going to reject the car because it's XM instead of Sirius or vice versus...
Same goes for cable/sat tv subscribers... a dish network subscriber isn't going to change his service becuase dish network got XM instead of Sirius... BUT it's going to mean MUCH more "subscribers" to which ever sat. radio company the TV company chooses.
Also I don't think you realize that most of the Sat. TV/digital cable companies are ALREADY providing their own radio programming with their TV Service (it's only availabe through the TV)... and I'm SURE that some of them are looking to severe that leg of the company and just outsource it to one of the 2 majore sat radio companies which have a MUCH higher budget and dedicated operations....
Doesn't sound so dumb to me... millions of subscribers all with basically no say in which one their cable/sat provider chooses.

good points.
If you want an option package on a vw jetta now(i use this as an example cause i was looking at them the other day) guess what you're getting a stereo that can play sat radio.
yup, my cable company has their own music only channels, it'd be pretty neat if they switched it over to sat radio.
