Sirius Radio Buffer?

pesh · 03-27-2011, 10:05 PM

Is anyone else experiencing issues with Sirius Sat Radio cutting out briefly when driving below underpasses? I've been very surprised how frequently I loose Sat Radio reception for 1 or 2 seconds. I have had XM in other vehicles and it seems those radios buffer the music for at least a few seconds so that being out of "line-of-sight" with signal doesn't interrupt broadcast.

Am I experiencing something that is a design flaw? software issue? or possible that i have defective factory radio / sat receiver?

Thanks,

Only time I lose the signal is when I'm traveling in a deep canyon road. And even then it's only for a moment. Sirius even works in my garage.
