Jensen SSR2000 Sirius satellite receiver $25 @ BB (B&M clearance) (before $100 rebate!)

[jeffspam]

Jensen SSR2000 Sirius receiver, Best Buy SKU #4345934, $24.99 out the door with no activation required. I found mine at the NYC BB (23rd st.) - they had two left as of 5:30pm 4/13. Once you activate, you can send in for a $100 rebate (prints at register). It has direct outs, so you don't need an FM modulator (which isn't included in this package, but available), but you will need to buy an antenna. You don't *need* to activate, but it's pretty much a brick if you don't.

If anyone knows where to find inexpensive antennas, please post!

Ouch $100 rebate. I bet no one lets that one go w/o a fight!

True, True!
This is worth checking out. I have a KDC-X817 that needs some Sirius.

Jensen went out of business recently, so dont expect a rebate or support.

FYI - The rebate is sent to Siruis (1221 Ave. of Americas, NY, NY), not Jensen, so there's a good chance you'll see that $100 rebate.

Jensen was owned by Recoton Corp -- you know the Recoton name, they made consumer electronics accessories that were SO cheap, even Radio Shack stuff was btter. Anyway, they're gone -- I had no idea! These were all subsidiaries, as listed on their (slowly decaying) website:

Advent -- speakers, wireless speakers
Ambico -- camcorder accessories, usually given away free w/ purchase of a new camcorder
Acoustic Research - speakers
Discwasher - tape/cd cleaning systems
InterAct - ?
Jensen - Car audio, etc.
Linear Research - ?
Recoton - see above!
Road Gear - assuming this is car audio
Spikemaster - ?
Sprint - ?

I have bought a few things from Jensen in the past and all their products were pretty low quality, even the products from their sister companies. Anyway, they have the cheapest and most useless website in the world. I actually sent them an email about it a long time ago but no response.
