Took a ride in the Z around 4 pm today (EDT) and the XM radio stations were in and out, no reception etc. Anyone else having the same issue? I called On-Star and the operator said the XM phone lines have been jammed all day.

XM Reception

Same problem here on Hilton Head. Was hoping the radio wasn't acting up.

I had that same problem yesterday afternoon too. It continued this morning too. I had just reran my antenna wire and stuff so I thought it was something I did wrong, maybe not though.

I've been having the same problem too. Since yesterday my XM had been fading in and out as well,now (or @least by 2pm EST) I'm not having any problem with my XM dropping out.

XM Radio has been having software problems that have been resulting in poor quality and "No Signal" messages for many users. They expected to have the problem fixed yesterday but it was still happening this afternoon. I have been having one hell of a time with intermittent signals in places where reception has always been very good. Hope its better tomorrow...:huh:

Just got this off the net...



XM Satellite Radio restored service Tuesday after a software glitch knocked out the signal from one of its four satellites and disrupted service to many of the company's 8 million subscribers for about a day.
The problems began around noon Monday, the company said. They initially expected to fix the problem after a few hours but service remained disrupted for about 24 hours.
"The problem occurred during the loading of software to a critical component of our satellite broadcast system, which resulted in a loss of signal from one of our satellites," the company said on its Web site.
It is still not clear exactly how many of XM's customers were affected by the outage. Internet message boards indicated the problem was widespread. The company apologized to customers in a brief statement Tuesday.
