Fellow XM users, are you missing certain channels?? WTF?

I have a Z1 which I upgraded by replacing the old hard drive with a new Toshiba 60gb hard drive with the Z2 software on it. It's worked fine for months (bypass, XM, iPod etc) but a few weeks ago, certain channels were missing on my XM, but I know that XM did not eliminate them.

I'm able to scroll by themes by pressing the "P.LIST" button; Decades, Country, Hits, Christian etc. However, when I'm scrolling within a particular theme by pressing the "TRK" button, channel 20 is there, but it jumps to channel 23, skipping channel 21 and channel 22.

I called XM and I they did a system refresh (I had to give them my radio id, and leave the system on for 30 mins) which did not fix the problem. Yesterday, I took out the Z2 hard drive so I can install Z3, and put in the original Z1 hard drive. The XM was still skipping channels.

Is this a Z1 problem or an XM problem? I've been on hold with XM for the past hour.

Press MODE

I tried pressing Mode and it allows me to scroll through the channels by pressing the "TRK" button. It starts at the bottom and counts up. But if I want to skip different themes, it doesn't let me - ie the "P.LIST" button no longer works.

Channel 21 and 22 are in a different category than 20 and 23, thats why it skips over them. Not sure why that is unless it has something to do with commercials, but I noticed it too about a month ago. I was able to get to them by pressing MODE until it is in All Channel mode

Press FLIP MODE

 

fix'd

Yeah I noticed this too when they changed the names of the channels and such. For some reason my presets wouldn't work but I was able to tune to them via the track button. I then resaved the preset and all is good now. Now I just need to make some new logos for the renamed channels.

This may or may not help, but thought it at least worth a look. Today, XM sent email to me that has an attached link:

http://www.xmradio.com/onxm/lineup.xmc

where you can view the "All New Channel Lineup". I don't wander too much around the XM channels, perhaps this new feed did something to your settings?

Just a guess

Thanks for the response guys. Now at least I know that it wasn't just my system acting up. It was driving me nuts. I'll try your recommendations.
