Sirius - Reception Problems - SOLVED!!!!

[DaPenetrator]

Hope this is the right forum for this. Here's the senerio...

Purchased the X (CPO) just over a month ago. Sirius was still active from previous owner. Noticed when scanning/searching through channels that several stations would be skipped. Didn't pay much attention b/c they were mostly channels that I weren't interested in listening to anyway.

Well yesterday while driving home from work, audio goes out and monitor displays "Call Sirius - 1-888-539-Sirius". Needless to say, the previous owner's prepaid 2 year subscription had expired. So, I get home, get the ESN, go online and activated my own account for 1 year. Went to truck and verified that all the stations that I'd previously pre-set were still there and playing.

Okay, here's where the problem/confusion begins. Still noticing that when advancing from one station the next several are skipped. When trying to tune to those stations manually getting message in display "No Channel". According to owner's manual "No Channel" indicates the following condition... "If an unavailable or invalid channel is selected or a memorized channel has been deleted by Sirius from the channel line up, 'No Channel' will be displayed for 3 seconds and will automatically return to the last selected available channel. If you have subscribed to the Sirius family package, some channels may not be available in the channel line up. If a memory is recalled and contains a non subscribed channel, 'No Channel' will be displayed for 3 seconds and will automatically return to the last selected available channel".

Verified with Sirius that I do not have any restrictions on my account, not signed up for the Family Package, and should be receiving all available channels. An example of some of the channels I'm unable to tune to are... 106, 108, 111, etc. in the Entertainment Catagory. I haven't tried any of the other catagories yet as I've already arrived to the office and didn't have time to do more troubleshooting. Just grabbed the SAT manual from the glovebox to read over in the office. Wanted to make sure I wasn't being an idoit before I called Sirius or contacted the dealer.

Any ideas or suggestions?
