Was listening to 80s on 8 on my SL2. All of a sudden drop out city. I gave it about 5 minutes, cursed the moving Sirius sats, and switched to internet. OK for about 5 minutes now more dropouts and skips.

Anybody else having issues?

I'm having signal issues in Pittsburgh, PA. Signal drops out for 5 or 10 seconds. Happens about every three or four minutes. I'm on Sirius.

I was experiencing some drop out issues two weekends ago in my car, beneath overpasses and in heavily wooded areas where it used to never drop out. It was as if the satellites were operating at reduced power. Maybe it had something to do with preparations for the new bird that just went online. At least I hope it's not an issue with my radio!

I've actually been going stronger than usual today... I usually get a few drop outs from a stationary position; however, today, I haven't gotten any.

Yay, new satellites are cool!

Same signal issues in Pittsburgh today. Signal drops out for 5 to 10 seconds and then comes back on. Happens about every three or four minutes. Annoying as HELL !!

Yeah, that's about what time I lost signal also, 10am. Past few weeks signal had been sketchy at times. Now it seems to be gone altogether.

I know. Very Annoying. Any ideas on what we can do? I hate to pay for something I can't use.

They say there's a built in clause tha allows them up to 2 days without service before you are eligible for a refund (or is that my cable provider?..shit)

I guess since it's confirmed to be out, and not just my setup I'll give customer service a call proceed to get the run-around. Problem is, after I dropped my radio I have to display, so I can't check signal strength or so forth. But now that I know definitely that the signal is out, I'll attempt to get through.

Good luck; you'll need it.

+1 for your effort.

I'll give them a call too. I know all about the runaround. They try and make it be a problem with your equipment. I have a life time so I can never even get a discount for the days it doesn't work.

I'll call this afternoon if it's not back by then,

Good luck on your call. Would appreciate you letting us know what they have to say.

Thanks
