From DABs post

Taylor just reported the SL2, Xpress EZ and Express R as being discontinued, so this is radios from both sides.

It looks like portables and all things cool are moving to XM. But you can still listen to sirius via iphone.

This is sad. It means that they'll never release a damn fix for the memory corruption bug, leaving us (SL2 owners) in the cold.

I know, I know... What else could you expect from a soulless company?

DAB must be grinning, right now.

LOL, nah I am not heartless now bro! I hate it for those of you that still have these darn things, I know you were just kidding. Still it leaves a bitter taste in ones mouth that Sirius just refuses to get that they must take care of their customers especially those that made an investment in hardware by fixing the issues until they are all addressed. They pulled the support plug on the SL2 a year ago

I guess I can forget about getting a boombox for the Stiletto 2.

Or you better get one now before they are sold out! Once this inventory is gone it is gone!

I'm ticked, mostly because I own one. I was considering maybe doing a lifetime sub, but that's pointless now.

Do you think they will offer Stiletto users buy the new XMp3 and subscribe to XM for a reduced rate?

The closest thing to "subscribe to XM for a reduced rate" that we may see is the combination of the billing service.

Some day this year SIRIUS XM is planning on merging the billing. On that day we are having a party in celebration!
Oh no question they are doing it. I've heard ESTIMATEs of Summer this year.

Well what is the point in being ticked? There are many items that we buy only to have it discountinued, though generally for another model. In this case they are just discountinuing and apparently hoping that those that want a portable will jump to the XM side for the XMp3.

I doubt they will ever offer Stiletto users a deal to buy the XMp3 or a no activation transfer even to switch, much less a reduced rate.


I will not hold my breath on this. Why? Because right now the way it is setup the make more money. If they do merged billing it is likely that many subs that are $12.95 will drop to $8.99. Will they still be able to charge for BOS or BOXM that is likely to continue regardless. I just don't see that they have much incentive to do a merged billing system.

Yes, it makes sense to do a merged billing and activation system. Again I'll believe it when I see it or maybe I should say experience it.

I won't mind moving, its the functionality of the stiletto series that I like. The ability to record the show starting at 6am then start listening at 7am skipping the commercials. Also the flexibility of portable or car or home. One radio, one sub but can use it everywhere, with satillite or Wifi.

Currently no XM radio has the recording capabilities like the stiletto, at least not yet.
