Hey all, I just noticed today that on my Sirius tuner when I go to change channels it takes almost a good 8 seconds to change between channels....The audio works fine, the text info comes up fine, etc....I can't imagine this is normal...is there anything that would cause this and if so how can I fix it?

Thanks!

Mine lost signal more than normal today. Changed channels quickly, but would loose signal at the most random spots. I assumed it was weather related since we have had some nice storms the last few days.

well cloud coverage could effect signal. if you are both having issues it may be a uplink/downlink problem. i am sure the problem will be fixed.

is it something i need to contact the dealer on or just see what happens tomorrow? I've only had the car a little over a week....I had an X5 previously with stock Sirius and had no issues at all, although it was on the old iDrive system....

I've been having trouble all day- in my home, in my F250 and in my Tahoe.
