Yet they were throwing (14 to 21 dollars) money away on extra subscriptions they didn't need in the first place, just comon sense.

Common Sense is a rare commodity my friend.
Thanks for the explanation Relmor2003. I learned something.
Now, I hope them bastards burn in hell..............j/k
You can direct connect the Stiletto (or s50, et al) in the car with a simple kit and in the home with a dock. Definitely would save you some cash.Thanks* I would do a portable...but all my units are built in and i'm into sound quality and prefer the direct connects....used to work for an independent car and home audio shop 2002-2006 during undergrad.....can tell you the last two years i worked there I pushed the hell out of sirius...activated well over 300 personally in that time period....of course we we're getting $5/activation to the employee as a spiff back then....give the incentives again and watch the greedy salespeople sell the service again*
now I've been looking at those .34 buys all day...why dont they just fillthem and take it back up already? geez...
I bet if you put a bid in for .34 it would be filled right away.. no problem. What joke this is. It is so frustrating.
quick question about BK,
if GM goes into backruptcy and is "in and out in 30 days", what does that mean for shareholders? do they watch their stock drop to pennies and then slowly climb back up, or do they lose all of the shares becoming worthless......or is that only if they don't come out of BK and decide to shut down operations? Reason i ask is i have about 3500 shares of GM.....which were worth some good money and giving some good dividends back in the day, but i wonder if it would be good to just sell at these low prices.....or to hang onto them for the slow rise (if that is how it works)
do you think they will be able to restructure, ditch the union, become profitable?
Common stock shareholders are not automatically wiped out in BK, but, because they are subordinate to creditors and preferred stock shareholders, they usually get wiped out because they last in line when the BK judge starts paying off creditors, etc with X cents/dollar. The market price starts dropping immediately as well as shareholders try sell off. If there's an attorney on this board, he could better explain it, but that's my understanding of how it works.
Thanks...wow...i never had so many sirius stock holders trying to convince me to consolidate down to one account....I'm aware of all the products out there...i like full intergration...on my audi i have the factory installed sat radio piece...on my work vehicle i have a kenwood deck with a direct connect so I don't need any kits....for my home i use the xm direct tuner for the yamaha receiver....this way everything is controlled from the main source and all on main remotes....I AM KEEPING ALL MY SUBSCRIPTIONS...i don't really care if the price doubles, i listen to sat rad every day in my car and it's constantly playing background music in my home. And the stilleto is not direct connect....it can give an audio output via a line output but cannot be controlled by any receiver and then you still have extra cables and an additional connection with a weak line level output for loss of signal quality...
