Same here, problem with activation is fixed, and NavTraffic is working, but signal for programming is terrible, going in and out randomly.

Yeah I saw that earlier... they must be using the same QA team that RIM used for their software upgrade the other day.

 

Had the same issue. This is a little off topic, but by chance, anyone in the LA area with Navtraffic not getting the colored lines showing up on the 10 between the 405 and 110?

 

The outages affect XM traffic too... or were you having issues before the outage?

 

Received the following e-mail from XM about 5 minutes ago:

XM Service Update

As many of you know, XM customers have experienced service outages or significantly degraded service since Monday mid-morning, May 21.

We quickly identified the problem and are working hard to return to our normal levels of service. The problem occurred during the loading of software to a critical component of our satellite broadcast system, which resulted in a loss of signal from one of our satellites. We expect normal service to resume midday today (eastern daylight time).

XM apologizes for any inconvenience this has caused. For updates, please go to http://www.xmradio.com.

In the meantime, you can enjoy many of our music channels on XM Radio Online (http://xmro.xmradio.com) if you are close to a computer.

Again, we regret any inconvenience for not having your XM Radio service fully available.

 

Checked XM in NJ during lunch today and everything appears to be back to normal, good signal, all the stations come in, and NavTraffic is working.

 

Hey - looks like the system is back, but I looked at that section of fwy and NO, I'm not seeing any nav info at all. Odd. Everything up to that point is working fine.

 

I don't know if this is related.



Service Degradation Alert

You may be experiencing temporary degraded performance with your XM reception at the present time. XM is aware of the issue and working diligently to resolve it as soon as possible. We anticipate full signal strength will be restored by early Tuesday morning.

I was having these issues before the outage yesterday.

 

Might want to send an email to XM and tell them there's no traffic info for that stretch and see what they say.
EVERYTHING else in LA is covered really well except that corridor. Really weird.

 

Got this about 5 hours ago...

XM Radio Resumes Normal Levels of Service

XM Satellite Radio has resumed normal levels of service for customers who experienced outages or significantly degraded service starting yesterday.

The problem occurred during the loading of software to a critical component of the satellite broadcast system, which resulted in a temporary loss of signal from one of the company’s satellites.

After you turn on your XM radio, please allow five to ten minutes to reacquire the XM signal.

XM apologizes for any inconvenience this has caused.

 

Had some problems driving home from work about 20 minutes ago.

Radio kept going silent every 1 minute or so.

Odd.

 

Weird.. I am having the same issue on the 405 but its between the 55 and the 5.. The only stretch of freeway I am on everyday! Figures
