"I’m actually continuing to pay the $9.95 a month because the free AOL doesn’t come with all the XM radio channels (and all the Internet radio they offer is mono, rather than stereo). But if you don’t use AOL Radio, then the free AOL is a great deal."

I have FREE AOL and still get the XM channels, in STEREO! Nothing about my original service has changed, except that I no longer have 24/7 Tech Support. Which I don't miss, as they were of no help to begin with!
