[Electronics-Talk] New Satellite radio desperately needed

Sat Sep 22 14:40:18 UTC 2018

Hi Arlene.
Thanks for your help, and your doggedness.
I contacted Sirius, and asked them why I couldn't get some stations on the
app, and they said something about contracts and some stations don't have a
contract to be on the app.  Sounds weird, but there it is.
Someone says they have a used portable radio, so I 'll check into that.At
least
 you got the station I want on your actual radio.Sirius has made some recent
changes to the app too that make 
It not nearly so accessible as it was.  Grrr.
Tracy

Hi, Tracy, this is me Arlene writing back to you on Wayne's computer. The xm

app is little clunkier than it use to be, and of all channels, just the one 
you want, we can't get it on the app either, we can get channel 219 on the 
radio just fine. Wayne is doing everything right, as right as he can be with

searching the channels, with any other channels he goes too, that will play.

Then I thought we should try some of the other sports stations, so I told 
Wayne to try channel208, and when he searched it, the result was it saying 
channel 92, which didn't play. Now the strange thing about that, when I 
copied the channel guide some time ago,
it has in that part of the channel guide, channel 184, and then the next 
channel number after channel 184 is channel 204, which starts with the 
sports stations. So we've got to find out about why we don't get channel 201

on the app. I don't know right now if we get channel 201 on the radio  which

is something I'll check on, and if we don't get channel 201 on the  radio 
when we call xm, we'll ask why we can't get that too, that's if we can't get

it on the radio, and why we can't get both channels 201 and 219 on the app. 
Anyway he tried channel 204 and that worked. Now he was able to read the pop

up message when he searched 219 on another one of our se phones and it says 
that it's unavailable. We found the pop up on the other phone and couldn't 
seem to read the pop up. We're going to work on this more to find out why we

can't get itand we'll let you know what we find out. If there's anything 
else we could help you with about this or if you think of anything you want 
us to try we'll do that. I almost forgot, we're going to see if we could get

both these channels online on the xm web page, because there's a number of 
channels that are  only available online on the web site. It's so 
frustrating when you really want to be able to get a radio station like in 
this situation. I was almost beginning to think we wouldn't be able to get 
any of the sports stations on the app.

Arlene
