Nope looking at the XM sites such as XMFan.COM others are reporting the same issue.
It looks like it is an xm Problem.

Just talked to XM after being on hold for 17 minutes.
Looks like its a Satellite Prolem, I was actually told "It could be up to 2 days before service is fully restored"
Looks like XM Satellite is down.

Correction: I decided to drive around instead of just testing in my parking space. Using the 2>0>7>XM hack, I can see that I'm getting ZERO signal from one satellite, even in an open sky. After driving around my apartment complex, the signal faded in and out SEVERELY. I was unable to hold a constant signal for more than five seconds while driving at 5-10 mph, and channel changing took 4-5 seconds (result of only seeing one satellite)
Grr the battery on my Inno just died. (Charger is at home)
I was monitoring it here in the office, and coould sometimes get Sat 2, but no Sat 1 or repeater.

Well Sat 1 and Sat 2 pretty much have to work together and act as one sat because they are broken as well. So when they launched Sat 3 they moved 1 and 2 together and they acted as one Sat. When 4 was launched they put it were 1 and 2 are and put 1 and 2 in backup status.
It's funny reading people's reactions to this on the other sat radio forums...people predicting XM's doom and such over this. Bit of an overreaction, don't you think? I mean, a widespread outage that may last several days IS a big deal, but it's not necessarily going to sink a company. Blackberry phones had a major outage recently, and that's a far more critical system than satellite radio, but I don't hear anyone predicting their doom anymore.
All technology fails from time to time. It's not perfect. Get used to it.

Doesnt seem to affected the stock of XM either, its up over 4% today. I just tested my radio, and all seems to be working fine for the 12 channels I have setup as favorites.
I dont think anyone is predicting doom however when a brand new sat takes a dive at a company thats all ready strapped for cash that is a problem. Not to mention 3 of the 4 sats they have are now broken
