Question 2004 LS Sirius xm channels skipped

When dial tuning my 04 LS satellite radio it skips over channel 88, 90 and 100 -103. Anyone had this problem before. There could be others but these I am sure if. It is like the channels are not set into the factory programming. Any ideas is there a new software load or something?

One other comment. My sat radio that is part of my navigation package skips right over the nascar channel 90 and a few others. It seems to be impossible to get it to tune channel 90. Has anyone else experienced this before or is my unit weird on its own? Thanks Bill

What package do you have? Sirius 88 (NFL), 90 (Nascar), 100-101 (Howard) and 102 are not in all packages, - for example the"Mostly Music" packages, and some "Family Friendly" packages may not have those channels.

Walt, thank you for the reply. I called them this past weekend and questioned them about the same. I spoke to someone with a very foreign accent. Had trouble getting my point across. I will try again this afternoon.

Ok thank you that was the problem. Needed 4 more $$ per month to turn it on. Funny the rep on Sunday could have explained that but I don't think she spoke English. Sad situation we live in today. Big companies in the US invest in foreign service providers that results in terrible customer service and we take it as the way things are today. Not a lot of competition in the satellite radio world.
