XM Radio Issues - Losing Channels

My XM radio has worked fine for me since I got my 2009 TL in September, but since last Friday now, anytime I turn it on and try to go to a station, all I get is "Updating" and only the Preview XM channels come on.

I called XM about 4 times, each time they send a signal to refresh my XM which brings back all the stations, but as soon as I turn off the car, the issue comes back and I lose all XM.

Anyone had this issue before or knows what may be happening? XM says it seems to be a radio issue and that its not holding signal and to go to Acura. Before I make an appointment just wanted to see if someone else has experienced this and maybe if theres some sort of upgrade to a software I need or something?

Thanks.

I heard on the radio yesterday that there is raising levels of interference that will make XM radio very choppy in the future. XM radio complained to the FCC (about band allocation) and they said "they will only do something if people complain" - XM people said, people will rather cancel the service than complain to the FCC.

you need to go back to the dealer and let them handle this. It should be under warranty.
