Question about Sirius Satellite Radio Sirius SIR-ALP1 Satellite Radio Receiver

No talk radio

I just had my tuner professionally installed Saturday and activated the service for the first time Sunday and all the music channels (up to 99 and 116) come in, but none of the talk radio channels 101+. Sirius support has no clue and blames the equipment. Anyone know what causes this?

Eric Halberg Jul 04, 2007

I spoke with Directed Electronics who said the problem most likely was the subscription. They said my tuner could be exchanged, but they didn't believe that was the problem and suggested I speak to Sirius support again.

Then I called Alpine to get their opinion. Jackpot! It's a software glitch in either the head unit or tuner. I made an appt. with my installer who did both installs. Hopefully, he'll narrow it down to one of the two. Hopefully, he'll plug the tuner into another Alpine head unit and find the problem. Then we can warranty replace the broken item.

If the problem is with the tuner (I bought the lifetime plan) will Sirius change to the new unit for free or will it cost me $75 and count as one of my transfers?

After the serial number of the unit is given to the support tech to enable service, it is your subscription that aloows to get those stations. It could be the unit as they said.

I need a tuner activation code for Serial # 6202Yo5300123

TV tuners don't require activation - they are nothing more than a radio receiver that only needs to be tuned on the desired channel.
If you aren't talking about one then please provide the exact type, brand and model of the device yopu are referring to.

The radio on my 2010 Subaru WRX has A Sat button on the radio. How do I get an XM Tuner to activate this button?

Many/most of the original factory radios with the 'XM' button already have the tuner in them. While outside (not inside a garage or under trees) Press the "XM" button then see if you can get channel 1, or channel 247, or channel 0. Channel 1 is free previews, channel 247 is free weather, and Channel 0 is the serial number of the radio. IF you have these 3 channels then all you have to do is call 1-800-XM-RADIO with the serial number from channel zero. Leave the radio on channel 1 for 30 minutes after calling, and you should then be activated. Let me know if you have more questions.
