I activated Playboy Channel, but it doesn't show up on channel listing. HELP. How do you add it on? Will there have to be yet another program upgrade to be able access it?
 
Its on channel 198.

You must have the radio on when you do the activation.

It took like 2 minutes for mine to be done.

This morning I listened to the morning show for a bit, and to me the channel sounded like Maxim Radio with more sex talk.

Unfortunately this response is not very helpful. :confused:

What if you've requested numerous times on the website for them to re-activate your account over the course of several days and you waited for hours after each request?

Can someone please post a response that details the sequence of a successful addition of channel 198.
 
Once it's ACTIVATED, the signal gets REFRESHED which updates your lineup. Sounds like you are "ACTIVATED" but are losing out on the REFRESH. You can do the REFRESH through XM Online yourself under "Manage Your Account". I have had the same experience as Scott - less than 5 minutes - even went so far at to have the car and XM on before I did the refresh.
 
TimeTrax for Sirius is still not loading channel 198

Hmmm.... It's now a month later and still the channel hasn't shown up. I've tried every combination of refresh/wait/reload/restart that I can think of. I opened a ticket with TimeTrax and they were no help, either. And I do know how to activate and refresh... my car tuner added the channel without a problem with a simple web request. :music:

I am a long time user of TimeTrax, and have used it since the beta days of the XM version, so I do know what I'm doing. :cool:

I have suspected this was a TimeTrax problem (either HW or SW), but they are predictably evasive. Does anyone have any insight? Has anybody gotten this to work? Anybody have the same problem I do? :confused:
