I have had to call XM several times in the last month to refresh the signal in my car.
Anyone else with this problem? I'm not sure if it is an issue with the service with my unit.

Had to once right after Thanksgiving because I was not getting hte holiday music channels. But since I only listen to 2 or 3 channels, I might be missing more than I know.

You don't need to call them. www.xmradio.com/refresh

Normally, the radio shouldn't need to be refreshed. My SkiFi at home is 3.5 yrs old and has never been refreshed!

Awhile back, the factory installed radio in my Acura started to act flaky (frequently updating) and it turned out to be defective. You might want to check with your dealer and see if there are any service or tech bulletins out on your particular model.
