issues with Radio... anyone?

so I have another issue which has been bothering me from a long time, anyone else have an issue with their radio going blank when under a tree or a bridge?
I understand that the signal can get bad in heavy concrete and more for Satellite radio.
But my HD Radio too just goes blank when under simple things, like driving on a road with quite a bit of trees and the radio blanks off intermittently, for a couple of seconds.

Anyone else having this issue? I know other car owners who had satellite radio without issues.

I've have satellite radio in my past 4 cars. It does seem like I lose signal more often in this vehicle than any I've owned in the past. Can't comment on the HD part, I just don't use it enough. But my interruptions are for less than a second, nothing extended.

that's kinda bummer... I have this signal right under a freeway, and when I stop there, the radio is silent for a long time .

Objects make no difference I can go without radio for several miles.

Dealer says bring it in and we'll test it. Unless they have a fix in not wasting my time taking it there

No issues like that for me with regards to the HD radio. Can't truly say with regards to satellite radio as I don't listen to that nearly as much.

I haven't noticed any issues at all with reception. It's about the same as other cars I've owned.
