    Does it come and go or is this a permanent situation? Every now and then you'll get a bad antenna or a broken wire or bad connector.

    Also, if your antenna is mounted where the truck's cab obstructs much of the view to the southwest lower portion of the horizon, you're going to have reception issues, and the further north and east you travel, the worse this situation will be for you. Driving e/w in areas with tall trees or rock cliffs next to the roadway can test even the best antenna setups.

    I canceled mine after a year when i had it in my car. They called me almost every other day for 3 months trying to get me back. And i still get emails from them. Same thing with Geico insurance.

    I just realized that I haven't listened to FM radio in over 7 years !!! I can't even imagine what it would be like to have to go back to listening to that crappy radio again !

    I just switched from xm to Sirius, just because I got a killer deal on a Sirius in dash unit, new with USB input for $125.00... My old xm in dash unit the CD quit working..

    Called up & they gave me a deal for signing up, 6 months for $60.00 premium service & internet radio also included..

    Even though playlists can be limited its still a great service overall....

    Same company, different lineups and programming.

    I usually stay on pops or Symphony these days.
