Default "Siriusly" perplexed - missing channels

Okay, so I got finally got the swap taken care of. It turns out they were trying to install the Nav/TPMS version the first time, and of course that didn't work. So they ordered the correct part, and installed it no problem.

Now I have another problem: I can't access all of the Sirius channels. For some reason, I can only get about 6-8 random channels (1, 21, 25, 71, 80, 101, 184, etc.). I checked the manual (last resort) to make sure I'm doing things right. No help. It's not related to a bad signal, b/c those channels come in fine. I called Sirius to ensure unit is registered; it is. I try to 'seek' to individual channels, and it only seeks to the channels described above. When I manually tune (using right ****), it still only gives me the same channels above. WTF? Am I stupid or something? Could this be (yet another) tuner or install problem?

Please help. I'm tired of Howard-less mornings<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a3/msgs/41813.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a3/msgs/41813.phtml</a</li></ul>

Called Sirius for reset; works fine now. Free trial does include all channels.

Default Neither my sirius free trial nor 2 of my friends' XM free trials contained all the channels.

More like 30 or so selected channels.

Looks like you got lucky with someone who didn't know what they were doing.

I ended up buying the lifetime $500 plan. Totally worth it.
