I have a deactivated XACT radio in my truck. For several months, it was simply stuck on channel 184 as expected. I was hoping to maybe activate it again soon here, but recently I noticed something. It has frequently been "updating channels". After one of these updates, I just happened to try and change the channels and it is now allowing me to tune in other stations.
However, here is the catch. I am only receiving certain channels. It seems to be one channel from each category. It changes daily though as it seems to be updating daily too. For example:
Anybody else experienceing something like this? My theory is that they are probably running some sort of promotional thing through the end of the year to try and entice you and get you to subscribe again. Sort of tease you with an offering of several different channels each day.
Which also lends me to ask this question. If they can easily change the lineup on my 4+ yr old radio, how come they can't truly offer a basic a-la-cart for these older radios? Cause it is clear they can make them receive only certain channels.

- Monday I had ch8, ch10, ch21, ch31, ch81, ch105, ch116.
- Tuesday, I had ch7, ch13, ch24, ch32, ch60, ch79, ch105, ch116.
