It. Would have to be during the Christmas preview because we haven't tried before that. Was just curious if this had happened to anybody else.

I did contact them initially because I thought they might try and bill me for the extra time. But after I called twice and sent them two separate emails (which I still have copies of and their automatic replies 'thank you for contacting SiriusXM'), I stopped notifying them and continued to use it.

Little did I know it would remain working for almost 5 years (4 years 10 months). They deactivated the device right after a 'freebie' period. I think they send out a signal after those free periods to deactivate the devices that aren't supposed to be active.

SiriusXM doesn't waste much signal time on activating/deactivating devices, and they have no way of verifying if a device receives the signal. They are receivers only. SXM simply sends the deactivation signal several times spread out over a few days and then stops sending it. They resend the signal every so often after that, but they don't put a very high priority on it after the first few days. If you hardly ever use a device, it's completely possible to miss the signal for years.
