Free listen event Aug 26 - Sept 8

[DJdish]

Those are the dates for the upcoming free listen for 2 weeks.
Again they will put 60 channels in the clear, but this time I see some changes (finallly) to that list.

Still I´m not sure many folks will feel the urge to subscribe by getting a free listen to Catholic radio, CNN en Español, or French Canadian Country.

Inactive radios are now on.

After listening to all the advertising on CNN and Fox, I am reminded why I'm not interested in signing up to pay for it. These advertising filled channels should be free all of the time.

Yeah, it's still getting the default channel telling you how great SiriusXM is.

60 channels are on now, the link shows the channel listing. I´ve dusted an old inactive home radio kit and it´s on.

How long does it take for your radio to discover the new channels? Is it possible they only made these channels available for XM tech radios? Not positive, but I believe Chrysler is still using Sirius tech.

How is it that you and I are in this boat, but others get a free preview?

The free channels are for radios on your account. If u deleted a radio from your account ever. It won't work.

What account? SiriusXM certainly knows I have a radio since they keep calling and mailing me flyers trying to get me to re-subscribe. My question on the previous page was more a technical question. How do they enable free previews? Supposedly (my reading of the above comments) they transmit in the clear to all radios. Seems that's not how it's done, since some of us are out of luck.

I no longer have an account with them, yet my old radio works every time they have these free listen events, as it´s on right now.
I´d assume when they mean free listen it would be precisely having those 60 channels in the clear, just like that, so that any radio (sirius or xm) may receive them.
It beats me how come some radios are not receiving those ITC channels.

 

[DJdish]

Well I´ve read in another board some reports also indicating some radios are not getting anything, no idea why´s that.

Still no free preview for me.

That´s bad, still one week left,

Listening to CNN right now, which is now the CNN International feed, with frequent commercial breaks, makes me wonder why the heck would I subscribe to this, with BBC World news, I get the same British accents, international news and no commercial breaks.
