    called to cancel service

    My experience cancelling was interesting. I've had the ala carte for years, and when I canceled it a month or so ago they said "fine, you have two dollars credit, do you want us to refund it to your card or keep it in case you renew." No hassles, but not one word said to try to get me to stay...

    Washington State Attorney General Investigating Sirius/XM Business Practices

    My originating post was about Washington State AG investigating Sirius/XM. The purpose of this prior detailed post was to follow up and show that this AG is serious, and Sirius/XM should expect to receive the same level of attention as did DirectTV. It seemed a reasonable place to post to...

    Washington State Attorney General Investigating Sirius/XM Business Practices

    "But seriously I wouldn't worry about a state AG "investigating" big corporations, they do it all the time especially in and election year." Ya know, DirecTV didn't worry too much about being sued either. Washington Attorney General sues DIRECTV for "Washington Attorney General...

    How Long Have You Kept Your Radio Running After Subscription Expires?

    No such luck for me. I dropped Sirius a few weeks ago and three days later my Sportster 4 lost programming. I made sure it was only powered on when I was actually using it, but it was only on for a total of an hour or so before the programming went away.

    Sirius 14240 vs Terk SIR6 Outdoor Antenna

    Thanks! Doing a search on Amazon for "14240" I get the antenna with a round radome, ($40/free shipping) but it comes with "30 feet" of cable, which sounds like the sma-smb cable. I'm sure I'll end up needing 31' of cable :mad: The Sirius website has the 14240 with a 30' cable listed as...

    Sirius 14240 vs Terk SIR6 Outdoor Antenna

    Does anyone have experience with both and could recommend which of the two is the better antenna? (or point me to someone who might be able to advise me?) I'm using the little clamshell antenna, mounted outdoors. I'm NE of Seattle, and I go to zero signal for significant periods of time, so...
