Did any of you with SiriusXM experience being unable to receive your customary stations while driving ~ 3pm EDT ? I kept getting the "Acquiring Signal" display indefinitely (manual says should go away in 2 seconds if you see it.) I pulled into a lot to call Sirius XM to find out wtf was going on, automated voice said 29 minute wait for live rep. Meanwhile I manually tuned down from my favored Channel 6 to Chanel 0 for an alternative XM contact #, no help. During this process, I happen to pick up Channel 4, which is a Soul Hits kind of station, one that the BLM crowd would probably like. That was the only channel that I could get.Virtually any other station that I tried got the "AS" display. I ran my errand in store, and when nearly home, everything returned to normal. Did anyone else have the same problem ? I can only guess that a BLM devotee somehow screwed with XM broadcast for a period of time, 15 minutes or more.
OT: Sirius/XM Hijacked By BLM ??

Are u sure it wasn’t Antifa?
i'm going to take a guess here. the song on channel 4 - was it fight the power?
Sun spots.
Because Sol Lives Matter.
IDK - kinda a stretch to make the BLM connection - likely just some kinda coincidence.
Below is a website that shows recent issues:
Wear a tinfoil hat to improve reception.
install a cooking wok on top of the car. something mcgyver would try. aluminum chopsticks as supplemental boosters.
Pull over and ask a black-guy - he might know
"Wear a tinfoil hat to improve reception."
Lol! I wish I had said that.
Definitely a lot of smart-asses on tuscl. Thanks, papi, checked that site out after I posted thread. So, there was some sort of outage ~ 3pm, but no explanation given for wtf happened. What is really baffling is why only 1 channel was working, and apparently none of the others. If satellite problem, seems to me it would be all or nothing on the channels. I can't help but wonder if a BLM/antifa minded person at Sirius/XM somehow rigged things that Ch 4 Soul Hits would be the only one broadcast.
@rat-d- IDHAFC what the song was.
Maybe I’ll believe BLM was behind it if this song was playing.
I’ve been a subscriber to XM, then SiriusXM since it’s inception well over a decade ago.
Yes I experienced the interruption today and it’s not the first time I have experienced that over the years. One time reception was screwed up for several days. Probably one of Tiger Woods golf balls dinged the satellite.
What kind of a stupid ass thread is this?
What the hell is wrong with you minnow? Comming up with this far fetched idea... 🤣
Oops! I did that when I was making love to my sweetie! That is what he wanted to hear at the time. 🥰😍😇🤑
I have Sirius, read this, but unfortunately to help you I would need the make and model of your car, the color, how many mpg you get, the type of fuel you use, what scent or air freshener you use, and the brand of stereo equipment.
So, not enough details.
👎👎👎👎👎
The website says fried foods, magnesium coffee cups and being near freshly cut grass all have no effect on reception. I will list more things that doe not effect reception if I have more time. I am having WiFi problems. Probably the tin foil I have wrapped around my pizza.
I agree with you minnow, BLM IS hyjacking everything lately. Yesterday I went to Taco Bell and ordered a #3 combo with Dr. PEPPER and I got a half a barbecued chicken with a biscuit and collared greens and a grape Cool Aid. This crop has to stop!
