Hijacking Satellite Radio
I have been a die hard XM supporter for a few years now and can’t imagine my life without it. I have only hit a couple dead spots when I was in the WAY deep hills of PA. In other words I am extremely satisfied with it.
Today something odd happened. I’m sitting at an intersection on my way to work and listening to the home ice (hockey) channel when all of a sudden my signal wasn’t just interrupted but air hijacked by someone with Sirius radio. I use the FM signal to connect to XM via a little black node that sits on my roof. I’ve had some static before but this was full blown Sirius. I looked around and the only car next to me was an old lady. I HIGHLY doubt she was into Pantera. Light turned green and the signal was gone.
Some of you may think “well maybe it was another car?”. There is no way a signal from another car at least 100 ft away from me could cause this problem when there’s less than 4 ft from my node and antenna.
Very odd… well at least I didn’t have to listen to Stern.
btw, EP27 Wailing your Wench Offshore is now online. We’ll be recording EP28 tomorrow night. Hooray for 4 day weekends!
