That may be so but you still aren't addressing the fact that more people pay for TV in the US then those who don't. There is no "deep discussion" to be had here. Your knowledge of media has nothing to do with the issue at hand which is the fact that paid services beat out free services. It does happen.
If what you are saying is that you think a paid app can not beat out a free app, that is your opinion. I for one, disagree. That said, there are other options besides simply charging for the Sirius XM service on the iPhone app... they could easily offer a small "teaser" number of channels for free in an attempt to get people convert to paying subscribers. Then it becomes free music app vs limited free music app which should be even easier to win.
