Z3 - Sirius Universal Tuner

Unit will not tune to certain channels. An example is Sirius channel 50, it is a channel that should have programming on it.

Channel 49 works as expected and when I hit channel up button, radio tunes to channel 51. Likewise, with the down channel button. If I try the 10 digit keypad and type 050 enter, radio stays on current channel. There are other channels "missing" along the way that according to Sirius have programming that I cannot receive.

For troubleshooting -

I have had SIrius folks resend the signal to my unit 3 times.

I have disconnected the Sirius tuner and Sirius Bus Interface unit power and connecting cables from each other and the Z3 main unit.

I have called Pioneer tech support with no suggestions from their end.

 

I have just recently re-subscribed to Sirius and am thinking that these "missing channels" might not have existed when I had the unit first installed about three years ago and maybe there is a reset/reprogramming that needs to be done on the unit?
