Sirius updating?

Is anyone else seeing this?
Five times today I lost audio for a minute or two, while the command display said "updating station list"
Just wondering

I've not noticed anything here in Arizona, at least not more than usual.

Mine was OK this morning driving to work (7:30 am Pacific Time in northern Los Angeles area). Although I have a whopping 12 minute commute, so maybe I just missed it!

That is SOP and happens whenever they realign their stations or add new ones...

It happened a total of 7 or 8 times today. I called Sirius, and they claim it is nothing to do with their service, & suggested I contact MB.

The last 2 times it happened I was in the Nav directions mode, and the Nav was interupted while Sat was doing it's searching. Just now, about 1/2 hour ago while on my normal homebound route, I lost signal again in the regular bad areas. This time, however, I got the normal "acquireing signal" display message.

Label me confused

I think Sirius is trying to pull one off on us...there is something going on with the Sirius service. It happened a LOT yesterday, for two or three minutes at a time.

I also had issues with SAT finding a signal yesterday. It was rather annoying.

I had a brief "Updating Station List" message a couple of days ago. I say brief because it lasted about a minute. In the past it has lasted 15 minutes or more. During the update, I can do anything with the Command except change channels on Sirius. I am thinking that this is an M-B specific thing and not Sirius because I have Sirius in my other car and it has never done this "Update".

Same thing happened to me. I thought I had an antenna problem.
