I'm completely disgusted with Sirius Satellite Radio at the moment.

So several (many?) months ago, I stopped getting reception in my car. Weeks later, the same happened with April's car. It turns out, the Sirius antenna is a total piece of crap that tends to break within the first year (as noted in the reviews on Amazon, where it has a one star rating).

To make matters more annoying, Best Buy says they haven't had the antenna in stock for months. I finally gave in and ordered the antennas on-line from Amazon, but a month later, I have received notice that they are unable to obtain the antennas and have cancelled the order.

Meanwhile, April and I continue to pay a monthly subscription, which I really need to get refunded. To think I still own stock in this company. :(

Thats why i stick with good old fm radio

Vegeton 2007-08-09 12:27:02

Well I think this is a sign you should sell your stock Tom, and maybe put some stock in a good antenna company ;)

Dragonman855 2007-08-09 12:32:09

You own some stock? How much?

TomFulp 2007-08-09 12:32:09

I put in $1000 the morning they announced the Stern deal... I think it might be worth like $400 now or something, dunno... I never seem to have any luck with stocks, I should have just invested in Apple and Google.

That's why all my radios don't get satellite, just good old fashioned FM, Sirius is a crap company, you should sell the stock and move on to a company that isn't completely worthless.

Who needs Sirius anyways, all you really need is FM/AM+ a CD/casette player
Buy stock in a real company like Marvel or one that actually knows what it is doing

jakeganz 2007-08-09 15:52:18

... those fat schmucks!

dsmking 2007-08-09 18:07:05

If I where you I would sell your stock in them now. I think you forgot that you are in charge of a major website that a million people go to a day and some read news post and stuff. Yeah slander aint good for a company.

In all honesty, Is Sirius really any good? I don't know any one around where I live who has one.

reality-monkey 2007-08-10 16:25:25

hahaha!! sucks to be you?

Luis 2007-08-11 16:21:38

Ive had problems with Sirius as well... when i had a BRAND NEW reciever installed in my car i went to register it and they said that the new radio i bought already had a customer registered.. and they couldnt transfer it to me.. am i sure the radio isnt stolen. Needless to say it took a long ass time and i finally got it working. I get really bad recep near my house.

Havent you heard Tom?
Video killed the Radio star. You were a fool to buy stock in any kind of radio.
