Sirius channels cutting out

[williamsGN]

Anyone have problems with their Sirius cutting out since the channel line up change ? Mine cuts out a lot and I've found people on different forums saying they are having problems also with it on all devices so it isn't a Dish issue.

Fortunately it is just an free add on to my Dish Network package, but if I was paying for this as a stand alone it would be GONE.

I noticed this myself today in my truck. Before today I could count on one hand how many times I had it happen in the last couple years.

Mine is cutting out. Also it will show one band and another is on. If I change the stations it fixes itself.

i noticed it on monday but ..fortunatley i had plenty of beer to remedy that

 

[whitecobra98]

the weather is most likely the cause ..when its really windy, like here yesterday it will cut out

Only started after the channel line up changed. I've had it for about 5 years and no problems before.

Haven't had any issues with the XM in my truck, but the XM I have on my GPS when I'm out of town on work is terrible! But, they say it's just an antenna issue, we'll see once they warranty the antenna!

Mine was really bad up until 1:55 today, then clear as it used to be. Like every 1 second or so. Every station thru every song. Even the comedy channels were doing it. Clear on the way home tonight too.

Ditto, happening a lot lately, in all kinds of weather.

Well my stilletto with the already paid lifetime membership lost contact with the satellite entirely. They say I'll have to dump the hours of songs I was able to save on it back before they stole a real consideration for buying it, the ability to use it like an mp3 player, to restore it.

The wifes car's been cutting out on her too.

Haven't had a single issue recently and played XM in my boat almost all day for three days last weekend with a 6 year old receiver set up. Play it everyday to and from work too and no issues.
Maybe you have started driving under bridges more often?

 

[williamsGN]

That'd be a good trick with a Dish network satellite on my car...

I heard it isn't a problem on the opera station.. so we know what your listening to. :biggrin:

 

[2QUIK6]

A satelite dish on the back of the truck might be the next trend after those spinner wheels and big bat wings
What was that opera station channel again?

I've been hearing this a lot lately, also hearing it on the Honda board I frequent.

Fortunately I'm running XM and having to such troubles.

I've got XM in my Altima. Worked great with only certain areas that got blocked by building or something and I knew where it would drop. Crap now it dropping on any channel in any location. Pisses me off. Regular FM comes in better.

I am now getting the "loading" after changing channels. If I go from Octane to Hair Nation, it waits about 8 seconds. Sometimes it goes back to the station I had previously. Like Octane change to Hair Nation(wait 8 seconds) then back to Rawdog. I wrote to them to find out if they are having difficulties and no response from them as of yet.

 

[Roc87]

Mine has started reverting back to channel 1 info & getting the loading screen as well.

Mine won't play if I start to put the truck in the garage, cuts out in valleys,etc, ...Good thing it's the free, 3 mo deal...

Its 'all better' lately.... now as far as the SW section !!!
