Sirius

I had my Sirius module replaced because one channel (Bridge - 33) kept dropping out even when in wide open space. I refered my dealer to DTB P-B-82.60/426c and they replaced under warranty without blinking an eye. The second module is doing the same thing with the same channel. I'm begining to wonder know if this is a Sirius issue rather than an MB issue.

Anyone else experiencing drops just on the "Bridge" channel?

How often is it doing it? I will check and see when I am in the car again. That happens to be a channel I do not listen to for an extended length so I have not noticed it.

I set "Bridge" as one of my favorites and have had no problems with reception or dropping.

Don't forget that you're almost 1/2 across the continent from him. Your repeater stations could be different than his.

Thanks. will do some more research. Although I have XM with Best of Sirius in my 4Runner and "Bridge" comes in fine without frequent drops.

Different satellites and repeaters. Apples and oranges.
