Sirius Channel Update Problems

Anyone else having problems with their Sirius radio after the channel update yesterday? Mine is locked on a screen that says "Not Released Call Sirius" then my ESN number. What's the deal?

Mine seems to be fine after the update. I might consider disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes. Hook back up and see if it resync's up. If not maybe someone else can make a suggestion other then take it to dealer or call sirius.

I noticed a lengthy update yesterday as well. After all was said and done, I noticed some of my presets did not work. It sees that Sirius changed channel locations on some stations. I'm glad I was not the only one that noticed. Glad you posted.

Ah ha... http://www.sirius.com/channelchange
Channel change as of June 24

Thanks for posting. I was beginning to think something was wrong with my system as a few of the presets no longer worked. I did notice it was locked on "Obtaining Signal" for a long time and then started working. I reset the non-working presets and all seems fine now.

Same here. Took friggin' forever. Slowest update I've ever seen, but works OK now.
