Default Sirius Problems

Quick question - I have the factory installed Sirius on my C70. Anyone having problems or heard of problems losing reception when making a hard turn in the car?

Thanks

Sirius itself has issues with 'drop outs'. It's old competitor is better. I have found this to be true while driving rental autos each week with sat radios.

I run XM in my 850 and have never had a problem.... I know the antenna has a small satellite receiver inside that is like a dish. After a while they can go bad and not keep their aim. so it might be that when you are turning the "dish" might be aiming away fromt whatever direction you should be. With Xm, they tell you to be aiming towards the "east".... Now on my receiver, I have an option to re-calibrate the antenna. Obviously since you cant see the inside dish part of the antenna, you have to re-aim it/calibrate it thru the screen onboard help screen, if any of that makes sence. If you need more helo with this PM me and I might be able to dig up some literature, otherwise call siruis and see what they say.
