No radios in Stock

I am trying to upgrade to a Sportster 5 going through Circuit City. My sportster 4 antenna reception only comes in if the radio is propped forward in the docking station. This is true for the car dock and 2 home docks (one is brand new) so it seems it is a connection problem in the radio. I am going through Circuit City because I have time left on the service contract I paid for and will be able to exchange a new radio for the broken one.

The salesperson there said there are no radios in stock because of the merger and they are waiting for new radios that will be Sirius/XM ready. He said XM have these radios out already but not Sirius.

Does this sound right? If so any idea when the radios will be out there? My sportster 4 is not getting better.

The issue of Circuit City not having radios is more because they have financial troubles and not because of the merger. It's amazing how many BS answers are giving out to people just to give them an answer.

I would try calling around to a few more Circuit City stores. I'm sure one of them has a Sportster 5.

I think this place has them...

SIRIUS Radio, SIRIUS antennas, SIRIUS accessories | TSS-Radio

Anyone heard of them before?

You're the best Scott. Plus if you want just the Sportster 5 Receiver with no car kit then we sell that too.

I could knock off $10 or so for your trouble, but I would check around some Circuit City stores first.

Nah. Go straight to tss-radio. They will take good care of you w/o the BS.

He just said he have a service contract with Circuit City. I think it's another way of saying he got extended warrenty though them.

I agree that it likely has more to do with this than anything else. I was in Besty Buy over the weekend and they are loaded up with all sorts of Sirius radios and accessory stock.

Circuit City is in bankruptcy. Many suppliers will only ship after being paid cash up front.

What the salesperson/clerk told you at the store is total BS

Been in a CC lately? There are more sales people than customers in those stores these days.

Best to stick with BB (or TSS, of course).

TSS-Radio is totally the way to go for your Sirius needs. I may be slightly biased but I honestly prefer us to even Best Buy because we offer excellent customer support and consistently offer great discounts. Not too mention our inventory is huge when it comes to the many accessories one could need for your home or car!
