I'm running my Sirius for about 2 weeks with great reception. I also purchased Best Buy's external antenna and mounted it on the roof.
I've had about 5 tuners for Sirius (alpine, kenwood, pioneer...)and they all seem to be made by Directed. What I've noticed is that some recievers are built better than others. Certain ones appear more sensitive.
What I suggest is for you to exchange your tuner for a replacement and see how that works out.
I'm glad I spent the $300 w/ external antenna and can utilize my JBL headunit. I love the mounting bracket for the tuner as well. I usually place my tuners underneath the seats.
