Satellites and Stern…

Thursday, June 8th, 2006

So things are looking good for our favorite Satellite radio provider SIRIUS. They have just announced that they have signed up with Loral Space & Communications Ltd. who built the 3 currently orbitting satellites and the 1 backup satellite, to build 1 more satellite that will be unleashed into space in 2008. That means far better reception for all in the SIRIUS universe!

On another note, Howard Stern fans may have heard a conversation today on the show pertaining to the GM SIRIUS connect (SIR-GM1). Stern and the gang mentioned that they had the unit and that a friend had purchased one at a store. We just wanted to set the record straight by saying that SIRIUS GM Connect is still NOT available. After speaking to the Directed Electronics rep today, the release date has been pushed back again to July. We think that it will really be released closer to August due to the fact that it is not even production yet. In the mean time, we have our own fix for those who cannot wait . Check it out here TSS-RADIO. It is more expensive than the GM SIRIUS Connect, but it will work with some models.

Busy Time

Friday, December 16th, 2005

I apologize that we have not had a post in some time. We have been so busy with getting these SIRIUS S50s in and out. We’ve shipped out about 460 of them and still have about 160 that have to come in and go out. Unfortunately none of the S50 Home Kits have seen stores yet and we sure hope they do.

As for the title of the Blog. December 16, 2005. Howard Stern fans will know exactly what that date is. Howard Sterns historic last day on FM radio. I started this business because of Stern in the first place. That is why I will be flying to NYC the night of the 15th. December 16 also happens to be my birthday. I have talked to Mariann from Brooklyn and am excited to see her as well as High Pitch Eric and Jeff the Drunk, a few of the wackpackers I stay in touch with. I will be with the many thousands of Stern fans at his final day in FM radio history. My birthday combined with Stern’s last day and excuse to visit my Mom in CT. I will not have time to take off for the Holidays and this will be a subsitition for that time. Surely, it will be a great trip and a great thing to be a part of, their is no doubt that if I didn’t do this I would regret it.
