While listening to the NFL preseason games on my Stiletto 2 tonight, I noticed that the logos changed from the pre-empted station logos to the Sirius NFL Radio logo. Surely if they can do this, they can fix the others. No? ]]> Sirius|XM Soundwave Cafe Cantinflas http://www.digitalradiocentral.com/sirius-xm-soundwave-cafe/11484-stiletto-2-station-logos.html http://www.digitalradiocentral.com/sirius-xm-soundwave-cafe/11482-s50-problem-firmware-updating.html Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:30:18 GMT I'm not sure if anyone still uses an S50, I guess most people have moved on to a Stilletto. I've been using my original S50 (I think I bought it in 2005 or 2006) all this time when most people had to get a new one years ago - so I know I am lucky.

My S50 gets stuck on "Firmware Updating" forever, and then the machine turns itself off. I noticed that others have had this problem, but those posts are years old. Did anyone who had this problem ever get it resolved? What happened?

I was on hold for over an hour last night, and the only thing the Sirius tech could tell me was to take out the battery and put it back in. Now I can only listen to my recorded songs! Can anyone help? ]]> Sirius|XM Soundwave Cafe AMFazio http://www.digitalradiocentral.com/sirius-xm-soundwave-cafe/11482-s50-problem-firmware-updating.html http://www.digitalradiocentral.com/sirius-xm-soundwave-cafe/11429-laborday-weekend-events.html Sun, 29 Aug 2010 15:34:38 GMT The Strobe

As my trial runs out on the XM radio soon - can I add this to my Sirius account or vice-versa?

In the meantime, I picked up an XM unit on Craigslist that I'd like to activate. Now, I know you can't cross over at this point in terms of adding an XM to a Sirius account, but I do have a question on how Sirius will handle the balance due once I close down the Mirge. I have about 20 months left on my Mirge subscription--about $400 if I calculate it correctly. What I'd like to do is go lifetime on the XM unit. Will Sirius issue a refund on the $400?? I know at one point XM had a policy of refunding any balance due if you canceled the service. (Hard to do I know.) Does any one have any ideas about this? I'd like to use the $400 as a start on the lifetime payment for the XM unit. ]]> Sirius|XM Soundwave Cafe lronglien http://www.digitalradiocentral.com/sirius-xm-soundwave-cafe/11242-customer-service-question.html http://www.digitalradiocentral.com/sirius-xm-soundwave-cafe/11218-whos-who-sirius.html Sat, 07 Aug 2010 16:23:48 GMT I would like to contact news and talk programming directors at Sirius directly, rather than going through their HR department.
