SXM Issues

Unread post by Turkeytop »

Twice today, while listening to SXM, it went to dead air for about a minute than came back with wierd non-music. The kind you get when you're on hold on the phone line. Then an anouncer apologizing for the unavailability of the scheduled program. The latest outage tonight lasted more than 30 minutes.

After several apology announcements they just started running promotions for other SXM channels "you're sure to love."

What channel? Was it a specialty channel?

From what I gathered -- all channels were impacted. No clue on the cause of it. I'm app-only, so I didn't notice any interruptions.

I have two SXM subscriptions. One for the car and the other for in the house. This morning, when I turned on the one in the house, all I was getting was their preview channel and a message telling me how to subscribe. In the car it was working normally.

Turns out, as of today, they scrambled all of their channels to new numbers. But somehow, the presets in the car had followed them to their new position.
