Is it official? I talked to XM yesterday and they didn't seem to no anything about it other than the press release.

I wish I knew, I just got my bill for all 4 of my receivers, $120. I am wondering if they get mad if I send them a check for $102. :)

Scott, the way I now understand it is, you have to call XM and ask for the discount, otherwise you will be charged $9.99 for each additional radio, your just not automaticlly billed the $6.99.

Take it for what it's worth, a CSR told me this today.:confused:
