:help:  Today for the first since owning my 08 Avy, my factory navigation Xm radio got a message on screen saying ?No XM Signal?.  Contacted XM customer service. The rep sent a refresh signal to the radio. Signal came in and out. Now nothing. Anyone out there experience the same problem and found a solution?  Please advise.  Thank You
 
For a couple of years I've been having signal issues on certain channels. Some channels will go out and the radio says No Signal, while others work just fine. I notice my issues are when in very close range (a few hundred yards) of a cell phone tower.

From reading online, a lot of people started to have this issue when T-Mobile began rolling out their new 4G LTE. Something about conflicting frequencies, but the FCC doesn't see the 2 frequencies as interfering so there wasn't much they could do. Next time it happens, take notice if you're near a cell phone tower. T-Mobile may have just upgraded their equipment near you.
