XM radio...

[KC_Valentine]

I got the car kit + cradle w/ speakers for the house yesterday, well I followed all the instructions in setting it up, it's bright and sunny today, aimed the antenna south *even tried holding it outside* and it still can't get a signal anywhere... There tech support people won't be open til tomorrow and it's driving me nuts! Any ideas why this won't work?

no signal at all? sounds like your antenna isn't wired up properly. did you maybe short the leads somewhere?

Its because XM sucks!!! I had XM and I could never keep a signal I took it back and 1 year later I now on Sirius and It s Great I loose signal when Im under heavy trees and sometimes at the gas station.....Make sure nothing is over your car....garage...ECT....

I will never buy XM. I invested thousands in stock of that company and lost every penny when they delcared bankruptcy.. They did give options that I could exercise if the stock went above $15/share for 3 consecutive mos. I had those usless options for over 2 yrs. Well the stock never went above $7 while the options were in force. Right after they expired the stock went to $17. I don't trust that company. Somebody made alot of money, it wasn't the average stockholder who believed in the company.

OUCH sorry to hear that....I bet the SIRIUS just jumped up quite about after hearing of the Stern Movement.....That would have been nice to jump in before.....

I don't know why you would be having that problem. Xm has 1800 repeaters on the ground vs sirius that has just about 90 of them. I have had xm for about 4 years now and have been dealing with them for about 3 1/2 years (selling / installing). Most of the the problems start at user error and not service error. check to make sure antenna is pluged in all the way. On the screen does it say ANTENNA or do you recive service. now no matter what service you have you may loose service in some areas NO matter what! Last I checked xm shares are at or around $35 - $39 vs sirius that is about $7 now. I am not a fan of sirius. There sound sucks and here in florida they don't have great signal
