#1574 of 1618 XM very good while it lasted by xrunner2 Feb 11, 2009 (8:07 am)
Have enjoyed XM for a number of years. First, on home receiver hooked up to home sound system maybe 5 years ago. Our 2004 car came with XM and then combined subscription with home receiver for 1+ year. Our 2007 car came with XM but did not take out a subscription after free trial of first 3 months. Don't remember when, maybe about 3 years ago, our Direct TV subscription started including all the XM channels for no extra charge.   The variety of music offered is great and allows one to of course enjoy one's favorite music styles as well as exploring and finding other styles to enjoy.   WIll be a huge loss if Sirius/XM fails to come back some way after bankruptcy.   Never did understand why Sirius paid millions for a contract with a filthy porn talk show host. Are there that many listeners that want to be in the gutter? Sirius and XM should be about music.

Replying to: qbrozen (Feb 11, 2009 8:03 am) My guess is Echo Star that holds a lot of their debt will take it over. Still a big pile of cash coming in. I think that giving a lower price with monthly extraction from CC would be more desirable. One of my Internet providers does that. Then they have a steady stream of income. I think when people give them a year in advance they waste it on programing like Howard Stern. Tell Stern, Imus, Rush and others that they can get extended coverage and they will not charge them to be on Sat Radio.

"a solid business with an outstanding customer base, but we are burdened with substantial debt obligations"   Sounds familiar. The music biz is tough these days:   Muzak files for bankruptcy (CNN)
#1577 of 1618 Sirius Car HookUp Help, HELP_ME by lukedatruth Feb 16, 2009 (1:54 pm)
I just recently hooked up my Sirius Stilleto 100 into my Toyota Corolla. I used the FM adapter and the hardwire hookup kit. My PROBLEM is that only the left side of my car speakers work with the Sirius Satellite on, when regular terrestrial radio on all speakers work. I went and traced all the hook ups which there are only a couple, everything seems to be hooked up right? Can someone PLEASE help figure out what it is I done wrong, Please!

Replying to: lukedatruth (Feb 16, 2009 1:54 pm) why did you hardwire it? when i used a car kit, all i did was plug it into the power thing that looks like a cigaretter lighter, and got the antenna on the roof, and eazy peezy that was it.   don't do the hard wire.

Replying to: ral2167 (Feb 16, 2009 4:03 pm) I hardwired it because its alot better not having wires and that 12 volt plug sticking out. It was a kit that I bought from sirius, that has nothing to do with the problem, thanks though. Replies to this message: ral2167 (Feb 17, 2009 6:22 am)

Replying to: lukedatruth (Feb 16, 2009 4:15 pm) perhaps you should hook it up without the hard wire and then see if you get sound out of both speakers-- if you do, then it's a hardwire problem.
#1581 of 1618 have you heard? by nippononly Feb 17, 2009 (9:21 am)
Liberty to lend Sirius $530 million, get 40% stake   February 17, 2009 - 9:45 am ET   NEW YORK (Reuters) -- John Malone's Liberty Media Corp. has agreed to lend $530 million to Sirius XM Radio Inc. in exchange for a 40 percent equity stake, saving the satellite radio provider from possible bankruptcy and sending its shares up 100 percent.   The deal also helps Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin fend off a potential takeover bid by Charles Ergen's EchoStar Corp., which has purchased hundreds of millions of Sirius's total debt of about $3.25 billion.   http://www.autonews.com/article/20090217/ANA05/302179823/1182 (registration link)   So I guess they're not going bye-bye. But all is not that pretty, Liberty also owns a controlling share of DirecTV, one of the companies that was previously looking to take over Sirius. And that "doubling of Sirius' stock price" brings it up to a whopping $0.21 per share. :-/ Replies to this message: gagrice (Feb 17, 2009 1:57 pm)

Replying to: nippononly (Feb 17, 2009 9:21 am) That is good I think. I really liked XM when I had it in the GMC. I would like it when I get around to doing some cross country traveling. When ever that happens. I drive so little locally that it is a waste of money.
#1583 of 1618 XM renewal by upstatedoc Feb 26, 2009 (10:13 am)
Just as an FYI, my subscription was up for "auto renewal" March 8th at the whopping price of $145 for the year. I called and said I wanted to cancel and the operator asked why, I said I can't afford it. She said I could renew for the promotional price of $77/year ( which I have been paying for the last 3 years) and I said yes. This price is available to everyone, you just have to ask for it. Heck, tell 'em I sent you!
