Default Trial version of Sirius ? What gives?

I finally understand what someone was posting on here, questioning whether we had a trial account of sirius satellite radio.

I am having a problem whereby there are no channels listed under country or dance/electronica (siri of course has channels in these categories).

I go to the choose by category setting, then go to either of the above, and when I click on it, nothing happens. Under pop or hip/hop it goes into a listing of channels.

Anyone know whats going on?

Default There is a category selection screen and you can select what you do or don't want to see.

In my case, I'm quite happy not to see country or dance/electronica! I did notice however that the channel list is sorted by category as a default. You may find it easier to find a particular station by changing the sort to channel number.

Let me check, but it looks as if the categories appear, but are empty

Default WTF ! - Nope thats not it.. I still dont see dance/electronica channels

I tried displaying all categories, nothing in the category

I tried displaying ONLY the dance/electr category, nothing in the category (category displays but no channels in it)

I tried sorting by channel number, and I only see maybe 20 out of 80-100 channels.

WTF!?

Default Have you subscribed to Sirius?

If you haven't subscribed to Sirius yet you will only see a few channels and I'm not sure if any of those are in the categories you listed.

Good point - my Sirius had not been activated. I had to do it after I got home.

Apparently you can switch the Sirius module with an XM one for pretty cheap.
