13 million and XM has 7 to 7.6 million .. where are the 5.4 to 6 million receivers? Gosh with that many floating around... no wonder retail is dead.

There's a Roady2 sitting in my drawer that I don't use, ever since I upgraded to an Inno.
How many TV sets has Sony sold? How many are currently in use? It's going to be less, it's always going to be less.

I have 4 active radios, and 5 unactivated -- upgrades result in unused units.

I have two that I upgraded and don't use anymore. My brother has one that I upgraded for him. There's 3 more. Anonymous are you still on your 1st tuner? I'm on my 5th XM and just cancelled Sirius but have 3 of those units too.

Remember that there's about 20 million aggregate subscribers to both services. That includes the canceled subscriptions but still the receivers were built.
Also there's 230 Million cars in the U.S. and about 10% are equipped with a satellite radio.
Plenty of receivers out there.
