I hope Santa brings me the Starmate with Cat Kit. My cat and I have a tenuous relationship at best. If he could receive the SIRIUS XM signal, I would bring him places with me. We would be a lot closer. Who knew that SIRIUS XM would become a relationship builder?
i think sirius has cut marketeting to the bone so that their balance sheet looks great for the 4thq to obtain financing–This will kill the xmas market for retail but the alternatives are scary so they have to take one to the chin to get the weight off their back
