Thread: Sirius Signal Issues

Is anyone else having this problem? About 1:00 p.m. (EDT) I lose signal for about two hours. It's been happening for the last week....

working fine here in mpls...just was listening to it 1/2 hour ago (noon central)

I've been having signal loss for about a week now from about 1:10pm edt to about 1:45pm. The antenna has been in the same place for 4 years so I replaced it with a new one, I have a few new ones laying around, It did not help at all.OH well

Mailman, Were you going up the evens then down the odds when this happened??

If so what unit are you using??// I was thinking of getting a portable unit, Stiletto 2 when I go down the odds then up the evens.. Does anybody have any input on the portables, How good is reception when you are mobile? Thanks

I have a mirge radio in my car set on XM. I am now getting looking for a antennta signal. It has been going on for two days.

Here it is, 1:30 pm and it's down again. I called them yesterday and they keep telling me to move the antenna - but it happens with *all* our radios, no matter which one we're using!

There is something going on....

Jim - I wasn't doing anything, just listening. Like usual. It's really getting aggravating....I want to figure how much they'd owe us in time if we don't get an hour's worth of Sirius every day for a month....grrr

Is there any way to get in touch with someone who knows anything there? I can't talk to the dude in Bangladesh when he has no idea what I am talking about...

They activated the new geostationary satellite. It's south of Texas so point any fixed antennas south or move receiver to a southern window. I think the receivers can only receive three signals at a time, used to be two active satellites (out of three) and the repeater network. Now with a fourth satellite, I wonder what they had to turn off so it could be received. Could be the repeaters or more likely, only one of the three existing satellites is now activated when it's over the US instead of two of them.
