Cool. I just listened to my recording of the stern show today, and yeah, now that you mention it, there was no dropouts. Maybe it wasnt active this morning, but usually, I get about 5 minutes lost in the middle of the show, and then during the news, due to the sats switching. My antennea sits on a bookcase by a window inside at the moment, and as I write this, I moved it down further where it ususally gets no signal and it gets 2 bars still. Cool stuff.

Oh. This could be hot.

My only question is why would they put up a new bird if they're only going to make XM radios?

But, I hope the new sat makes everything better.

They aren't only going to make XM radios. But for now they maybe focusing on them a bit more in comparison to SIRIUS Radios.

Wonder what time they threw the switch? I had a half dozen 1/2 second dropouts through the day. They might have ended around 5:00 ish? I'll have to keep my eye on the signal strength meter.

before i would get dropouts in the house (i have no indoor antenna and don't plan on getting one, i refuse to use the antenna headphone ear daggers, and we have wifi so i can use the stiletto's internet radio function) my connection isn't great, i still get one bar, however its now pretty much consistantly one bar. as long as i don't have teh reciever under something, i get a reception which is an improvement just in time for hockey season.

No. I have been having tonnes and tonnes of reception issues the last couple of days. At around 10PM each night my signal goes bye bye. It happens again sometimes at 5AM. Other times I have 2 bars (normal for me). Did they remove one of their old sats? They may have just eliminated the portability part of the SL2 for me as I need a sat signal to record.

ETA: I have no S window and no usable Sirius repeater nearby. I need the Sirius sat to get a signal.

I don't know if they have been doing anything different with the other satellites. But I'd like to hear from a lot of people that know for sure if they have seen a difference. What you are seeing may be correct, just everytime signal is brought up there are people who have a broken or fading antenna that will claim it's the satellite and hard to tell.

I just checked and my sat signal at home is 100% and very consistent. Since I installed my home antenna and repeater (thanks TSS!) I have had good reception, but the SAT typically hovered around 80%. nice!

They are probably focusing on XM radios for now because that's where the demand is for the products....considering the current setup of the "Best of" packages. If MLB ever makes its way to the Best of XM, you will quickly see that shift.
