Thread: dropped Sirius

I canceled my Sirius plan this week. I was just getting tired of the poor sound quality. I bought a new stereo head unit with a USB port. I can put a lot of tunes a 4 gig. flash drive and the sound is so far better. I have 2 Stratus 5 receivers with the pro. install kit . Just couldn't get the sound anywhere near CD level. customer service didn't try very hard to keep me , they just said if I every want to come back it would be a $15.00 charge to start up . You would think they could at least be able to send out a better sounding signal. Just my 2 cents.

Does anyone think the more expensive receivers sound better than the Stratus level ones. I mean if I go out and buy a new starmate will it sound any better or do all receivers sound the same.

They all sound about the same unfortunately.

What can I expect from Sirius, will they hound me like Direct has been doing for years to come back. When they come a calling how far should I go to get some free be months. I wouldn't mind going back but for the money the sound just is poor.

You have said that you can put a lot of music that sounds way better off of a flash drive. Sirius-XMs sound quality is not going to get any better. Just let it go and tell them to stop calling you, if they do.

They'll haunt you for a month or so. I canceled 2 weeks before x-mas and got a bunch of offers to come back

A couple weeks of hounding? You got off lucky. I have their 800 number saved as a contact on my phone still 6 months later because they still call every couple of weeks.

FWIW, my son, who is living with us for a few months, enjoys Sirius so much, especially Lithium, he has decided to add it to his own car after the doctors let him go back to work.

I keep a land line with an answering machine. We don't answer the phone. We see the caller ID on screen (thank you Dish) and listen to see if they leave a msg. Family & friends know to speak up & we'll pick up. Most junk callers just hang up. Except the politicians. We still have to skip thru and erase those. So I never speak with telemarketers at home. Especially after I had to hang up on a rude one who kept calling back to harass us. Not cut out for working for a Charity- who'd a thought?

The sound quality could be better but satellite radio is still a GREAT service.
