Sirius and XM to merge

We decided to put satellite radio in the TV and today I purchased the Sirius Sportster 5. Why the Sportster 5? Well, because it's the most expensive in the vehicle line and that is what I always do, dear! Actually there are some sales going on, but that is the one I decided on and I had it installed "professionally."

However, as I have heard, and was confirmed when I subscribed to the Sirius service, Sirius and XM are merging. They have permission from the FCC, but there are details to be worked out. Example, their receivers operate on different frequencies. FCC has told them to produce one receiver that will cover both sets of frequencies.

I am assuming that when they do merge that provisions will be made for present subscribers of either service to continue to receive both sets of signals.
