Hey all. This is my first post but I have been looking around for weeks to see if anyone has covered these issues already.
I have been having problems with recording from the beginning. I have a Stiletto Boombox at home, a Directed Soloist at the office and a Stiletto Car Dock. And of course a Stiletto 2, the second one after exchanging the first with Sirius.
First issue is my SL2 going to sleep while in the Boombox. If I were to listen to something, live or recorded, and pause the unit it will go into sleep mode after several minutes. This does not happen in the car or at the office, where I am able to leave it on, and paused, for at least 30 hours (one time I forgot it at work). The setting for automatic shutoff is set to off, and obviously works properly in the car or the Soloist.
This definately sux but I had thought of a workaround, just dont leave the unit paused. It's annoying but I have been doing this. However, more and more the unit shuts off anyway. I record Howard from midnight-6am and 6am-noon everyday. Almost 25% of the time I will wake up and the unit is off. When I go to bed I make sure it is on and tuned to satellite, with the volume on the Boombox all the way down so i can sleep. When there is a problem, I usually have some portion of the first show recorded and nothing else. And I can't start recording again when I wake up without deleting the daily recording that I have setup. This unreliable behavior is nerve-wracking, to say the least.
Issue 2
I was living with this for months and then the channel changes happened and all hell broke loose. I understand the LOVE issues and the incompatibilities that (i hope) are being worked out. I think the music choices are not as good but that is all just annoyances that I can deal with. I am on satellite for Howard, good music and news is just a bonus. I try to listen to all of Howard Stern and I bought this damn Stiletto so I could record shows and listen later. Sometimes this is a week or more later. I have lost recordings in the past because of who-knows-what technical problems with this device. But I am at my last straw now because I spent all week recording the History of Howard Stern and I go to my device on the weekend to listen to the series and do household chores and there is only one thing in my library from channel 100. ALL OF MY STERN RECORDINGS ARE GONE! My library went fro 37% usage to 1%. I lost, overnight, almost all of my recordings. All that was left was a Stern recording and about an hour of the 6 hours of loved songs i had. The only songs left were on 03 Love, 12 Pulse, and 35 Chill. These are not even complete, but the most recent of the songs I had LOVED over the months.
I am sorry for the long post but I didn't realize how much I needed to get this out until I started writing. I also wanted to be complete with my symptoms. I don't know what is going on but when I called Sirius this weekend the first call was cut off (maybe my cell phone was to blame though). The second time I called, I explained my problems, which took 10 minutes, and finally he asked me for my account number and then said the system was down, I should call him back in 35 minutes. I was livid and went to bed, sad and alone
