Sirius XM Issue: 2012 W221
I’m in San Diego and as of yesterday my satellite tuner Now only receives Sirius XM channels 66-76 and won’t even stop at the other channels, but auto scans all the way around to where I started.
According to some online forums, the Sirius XM satellite is struggling to get signal through the ash/smoke filled atmosphere here in CA......but I’m not so sure, and wonder if my satellite tuner is going bad, since it’s 8 years old.
thoughts?

Try having them send a refresh signal.
You can either do this in your online account (easiest) or call them and ask them to do it.
I would start there to see if it makes any difference.

Yes, thanks, I tried that and one of the key requirements is that one first tunes to channel 184, as part of the process. I can't tune to any channel higher than 76, but tried it anyway, and it didn't solve the problem.

A gaggle of MB's
It's possible you accidentally switched from ALL CHANNELS to a "Category of Channels" - when in Sirius go to the "Category" tab at the bottom COMAND line - click it open - and make sure that is set to "ALL CHANNELS".
It happens - you should be OK...
