I've had serius for a few years, and it's about to run out. I got XM in the new car. So I was thinking of just having both under XM. Since they merged can I use the same reciever or would I need an XM receiver?

I think the receivers are separate still, but either receiver can get both.

Depends. What receiver is it. The older ones will just say "XM ready" or "Sirius Ready". Newer ones will say "Sat Ready"

I wish they would put it on one bill. I have both and its crap that they wont merge it.

I've always stuck to 1 year contracts, because XM's 3 and 5 year contracts weren't any cheaper per month than a 1 year. If I do decide to renew mine in March, It'll only be a few months at a time though.
