And the only receivers that can receive firmware upgrades are the portables (on the XM side, the Inno, Nexus, and Helix, and on the Sirius side, the S50 and Stiletto family). Older XM units MIGHT be able to download codec updates OTA, but as far as I can tell, that was only used once way back a few months after launch to clean up some bugs in the decode chip - downloading a whole new codec would be a no go.]]>Apr 28th 2008 4:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/26/sirius-starmate-5-stops-by-fcc-xm-gets-a-mention/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/26/sirius-starmate-5-stops-by-fcc-xm-gets-a-mention/Apr 27th 2008 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/26/sirius-starmate-5-stops-by-fcc-xm-gets-a-mention/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/26/sirius-starmate-5-stops-by-fcc-xm-gets-a-mention/Apr 27th 2008 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/26/sirius-starmate-5-stops-by-fcc-xm-gets-a-mention/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/26/sirius-starmate-5-stops-by-fcc-xm-gets-a-mention/Apr 27th 2008 2:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/26/sirius-starmate-5-stops-by-fcc-xm-gets-a-mention/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/26/sirius-starmate-5-stops-by-fcc-xm-gets-a-mention/
Doesn't stop the radio from being terrible around here though, I miss the great radio in Detroit/NYC.]]>Apr 27th 2008 3:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/26/sirius-starmate-5-stops-by-fcc-xm-gets-a-mention/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/26/sirius-starmate-5-stops-by-fcc-xm-gets-a-mention/
On a side note, if Sirius can boot a reciever with XM and sirius support, I'd like to notify them I'm sold.]]>Apr 27th 2008 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/26/sirius-starmate-5-stops-by-fcc-xm-gets-a-mention/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/26/sirius-starmate-5-stops-by-fcc-xm-gets-a-mention/
