has anyone with sirius been having crappy reception recently? mine has been cutting in and out a lot more than b4

I hit a few black spots here an there around town. Ill lose it for maybe 1-2 seconds then im good again. Check your modulating station, i keep my high up in the 106+ range

Yeah, I noticed that too, and it happened a week or so ago too.

Mel Karmazin must be taking money out of the repeater maintenance to pay for the merger.

11

it seems to be somewhat better now but the signal is still not like normal. i usually have all 3 bars and now most of the time i have 2

12

when i was in buffalo yesterday, it just quit and did not work again till i got to alden.

13

Mine did cut out two times yesterday but its been fine today.

14

mine is being an asshole right now @ my house…

sometimes its 100% perfect sometimes i cant get anything

15

im having/have had no issues :gotme:

16

sometimes i wish it would go out and stay out. i swear, every time i’m listening to Anything on sirius, i’m waiting for something better to come on. Perpetually.

there are local repeaters that transmit off of cell towers, especially in urban areas where there are LOS issues to the sats… on some of the older recievers you can go into the sat aiming display and it will show you strength of both signals, with XM in buffalo im about 60/40 repeater/sat
