I picked up an xm skyfi2/ delphi sa10101 for cheap from an old man the other day, he made it sounds like its been a while since he used it, and the original packing slip is in the box from 2009. When i plug it in, it works and I get the xm channels, so it must have a good subscription, right? Is there anyway way to tell if it's lifetime activated? I dont want to call SiriusXM as I'm not sure the subscription is transferrable, and they might want to shut it off. I've also heard about some nonsense where if it originally had a subscription to xm, and was left shut down during the sirius/xm merger and for a few months after, it will now work forever as it did not get some signal to terminate service that they sent out for a fixed period of time. Sounds like BS to me but maybe thats a possibility too? Thanks for any help you guys can give! I did some more research and I guess the way it works is this: When a subscription runs out, the send a deactivation signal, for the first day or say they send it say every 60 seconds, then after a couple days maybe once every 10 min, then maybe once an hour, eventually they either stop sending it or they only send it like every 6 months or something. The time frames probably aren't accurate but you get the idea. So theoretically if it was turned off for the first few months after cancelling the subscription, it will likely work forever.
