Anyone know anything about why Escape and Pop2k are no longer in stereo on XM? I've also seen in another forum Groove may be mono as well.
I think we can add Soul Street & Real Jazz to the list. What gives? Besides the DMB channel I don't see any other new channels taking up the bandwidth..
Same amount of bandwidth allotted for MLB, NFL & College as last year- not an issue. Only possibility is 2.0 channels (mostly Latino). 2 new channels just added don't count because they removed 2. I'm not sure SXM even knows this has happened.
2.0 channels were added in October of 2011. How could that be the reason 12 months later?
Are these channels in mono on Sirius radios also? Blend, Escape, Pop2K & The Groove have all changed to mono on the Satellite mode on my Lnyx. Not a big issue for me, because I listen to the Internet feed mostly.
Is your radio Sirius or XM?Is Blend also mono? I thought so when I was listening the other night and I asked on another forum and the person said no it was in stereo. I don't know what is going on because they were all in stereo before. I have asked listener care on their Twitter site and also sent a follow up and the response was there is no news to share. Kind of frustrating they can't notify customers of change whether this is temporary or permanent.
SXM Help- Please respond
I get the feeling these channels are getting ready to be either canceled or moved to online only
Their silence on the matter on this board and on XMFan has been 'curious'.
There are only certain things that they either have information available for, or are allowed to talk about. Just remember, your boss doesn't necessarily want you talking about everything that's happening at your place of business.
Hopefully management will issue a press release or at least provide the necessary info to the Help people.
I understand that. But its the potential that SXM is suppressing them from saying even a 'it's a known issue -- we are working on it' is what is curious.
We are in mono, they took part of our signal to split with another channel. And to answer you question no we do not know when we will get that stereo capacity on satellite back. We weren't really informed it was going to happen but we are trying to make some noise about it. And no this channel is not going anywhere that we are aware of
