| Fucking piece of shit!!! I knew this day would come. Whenever I unplug the antenna from my starmate its like pulling teeth. Well today when I pulled it out the fucking coupling stayed in the radio and all I had was a fucking wire! I tried to shove it back into the the harness but its still not working. Lousy crappy low grade shit. 5 month lifespand!?!? What the fuck. |

Timmy, why do you frighten me so? :(
I have a starmate, and I know exactly the wire you mean...the one with the cylinder silver thing on it. I'm just thankful for every day I have before this thing shits out. |

| get an antenna from someone who still has an XM radio. The antenna and band is the same - they work interchangably (I use which ever one is closest to me at the time.) |

Since I can't get reception at the office, I stopped using the "plug'n'play" function of my Starmate, Timmy, for that very reason.
The wear and tear of "plug'n'play" was too much for my first unit (a Kenwood); the car antenna is permanently attached -- so after a couple of temperamental moments trying to disconnect one antenna for another on my Starmate, I won't do it unless I have a serious road trip to make it worth it. |

Shit. Spiltn a Starmate from its antenna is like splittin a dog knot (Is that what Richard called it)
My car antenna separates much easier. |

Ive noticed the local stores now have plenty of Sirius products. But my last set up cost me $30. For a lousy antenna a cheap ass holder that looks as if it were made in a high school metal shop.
URGE TO KILL..,.........RISING!!! |

Shamela -
I just did a review of the s50 (http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/s...ite-radio.shtml) and Sirius gave me a faulty antenna. I couldn't get reception from my office, and I work in midtown Manhattan.
Once they swapped it out for a working antenna, I was able to get 100% terrestrial signal and between 25-50% satellite - from my cube, which is not even bordering the windows.
I am still waiting for the Stern web stream, though... |
