Sirius XM Radio Inc. is getting ready for the launch of the Sirius FM-5 satellite, the latest bird in the satellite radio's roster meant to improve the signal of the service. The launch of the Sirius FM-5 satellite is scheduled for June 29th, 2009 and will be inserted into 96 degree W. L. orbital location. Remember, Sirius FM-5 will be the first geostationary satellite added to the satcaster's stable of satellites. The addition of this geostationary satellite will augment Sirius' constellation (a plan that was announced nearly 3 years ago), and will add to Sirius' existing three satellites currently operating in a highly elliptical geosynchronous orbit. In laymen's speak: Sirius' current three satellites are in constant motion over North America, while this new satellite will remain in a fixed position. Aside from its position, the Sirius FM-5 will also pack 30% more punch than its previous satellites, adding an additional 1.35 Mb/s throughput. Sirius XM recently filed an application with the FCC "to use the S- and X-band antennas on its Ellenwood, Georgia earth station" for in-orbit testing of the new satellite.

Here's a little present for Pioneer Inno owners: a version of the v2.11 firmware with the FM transmitter turned on. For those who didn't know, the Pioneer Inno initially had its built-in FM modulator turned on for times when it wasn't docked in the car. But XM crippled the FM transmitter in subsequent firmware updates as a way to appease the FCC - instead of being able to use your FM modulator everywhere, you could only use it in the car. (booo!) Well not anymore. This handy piece of version 2.11 firmware - with the FM mod turned on - fell off the back of a truck and landed in the hands of yours truly. And now, it's available for all Orbitcast readers to enjoy. To be clear, this firmware update is not authorized by Sirius XM Radio... but that's what makes it fun right? Disclaimer: Use at your own risk! This firmware is obviously not tested with all versions of the Pioneer Inno or the Samsung Helix, and neither Orbitcast - nor any truck drivers - can be held accountable for your choice to install and/or use this firmware. Get the firmware below. [Download Here] Installation Instructions: Connect the Inno to your PC while dockedUnzip the file and place it in the root directory on the InnoThe Inno should do the rest when you disconnect it from your PC (safely). I can't guarantee it will work with all Innos, but the firmware will work with Inno 1's and maybe Inno 2's. The performance will still be better on Inno 1's even if it works on Inno 2's. Enjoy! IMPORTANT UPDATE: Some people have reported their Innos have been bricked as a result of upgrading to this firmware from an older version. It is highly recommended to first upgrade to the latest firmware version before installing the hacked firmware.

Martine Rothblatt, founder of the company that became Sirius XM Radio, earlier this week expressed doubts about Sirius in its current incarnation, saying that the “better time for satellite radio was 10 years ago.” While I’ve long argued that Internet radio would surpass satellite radio with the adoption of broadband wireless, and while that is indeed becoming the case, it’s besides the point. Sirius need not be confined to delivering content via satellite.
