xm80 area

Hey,

For those of you subscribed with xm radio.....do you guys receive anything on channel 80 (area)??? it's been a few days that i haven't been able to receive anything from this channel....is it happening to everyone else as well??? everytime i try to dial into xm80, it says "updating" and then it jumps to another channel (usually previous channel that i was just on)....

Mine was fine as of last night - haven't tried yet this morning. I just wish they would go back to the way the stations used to be.... The System and BPM - area is not as good IMO

Yes, you do. Shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to refresh. You should only have to do it upon activation or re-activation of a radio. I just reactivated mine today and all the dance channels are working fine. When you get the "updating" message, is your antenna obstructed by a garage or building? Something to think about. I believe their satellite is in the southern direction.

Took advantage of the $4.99/mo deal for 6 months then I have the option to continue at regular monthly pricing or lifetime deal of $399. Not bad as long as the company is still around.
