I am NOT happy with Sirius today!

Edited on Thu Jan-20-05 04:59 PM by romantico

ANyone having trouble? All day I'm getting static. I was trying to listen to Al Franken & Rhandi Rhodes & got static over dialogue. This happen on several stations. I thought maybe it was because I was in a wooded area, but then I went out on the highway & it was just as bad. I don't want to complain to Sirius (I hate bitching & moaning) but today was just awful!!! I paid $135 a year for this. I've only had it for about 3 weeks, but am VERY pissed off right now.

2. Have you checked your antenna?

That happened to me, and it turned out my antenna somehow came loose. I just went back to the place that installed it, and they fixed it in no time. I have XM, but I'm sure Sirius uses some kind of car mounted antenna, too.

9. If you had it installed, go back

Something is obviously not right with your car set up. That should not be happening. If you did it yourself, it still might not be a bad idea to go back to where you bought it and have the people there look at it. Maybe the unit itself is defective. My husband has Sirius, and does not have this problem.
