My 3rd satellite radio has died. The Onyx Plus was given to me last year as a replacement for a stolen one. SIRIUS will not activate my new Onyx Plus because it is my 3rd try. I just bought the new one right after Christmas 2017. Even though 1 was stolen, they count that as a new activation and will not activate this one. I was on the phone for 1.5 hours and on the internet for 1.5 hours (same time) trying to solve the activation. Not one representative would do it. I requested my "Life Time Fee" returned, and they refuse. The said the would escalate it and get back to me in 10 to 15 days! No Way!!
