CF not Seeing Any XM Channels

**fishhead202** · 07-12-2009, 12:42 PM

I've done several searches, and looked through prior posts. If I missed the answer, I apologize ahead of time.....

This weekend's project is getting CF running XM. I'm using the XM PCR, and the PCR software reads all the channels. I've gone into the advanced settings, chosen the PCR as my input, and chose usb as my com port, since that's what it uses. Under the XM screen in CF is doesn't show any channels. Did I miss something obvious?

Thanks for any tips,

In the XM menu in CF, tap(or click) the top part of the channel guide thing. It should show like 0/0 or 1/1(the # of channels). That should force CF to refresh the channel lineup.

Thanks for the help. I'm getting "An Error Occurred" when I do that

I've tried each of my COM ports, turned off buffering, but the error still appears....

Hmm... I'll check on mine when I get off... I had a similar problem.

Thanks, really appreciate it.

What is the COM port spped listed as in CF settings? It should be 9600, if I'm not mistaken. Match the settings in CF with the settings for the COM port in Device Manager.

Yea, it's 9600 in device manager. I'm digging around CF to see where I check that within CF..... If you happen to know, I'd appreciate it, but I'm going to keep digging. Thanks again for all the help!

If your using the latest version of CF, use the Advanced Settings option in Settings, tell it yes, then choose Satellite Radio or XM Radio, whatever it shows. If you don't have the advanced settings option, you'll have to reinstall CF or close CF and delete the "C:\Documents and Settings\(Your User Name)\Local Settings\Application Data\Centrafuse\System\settings.xml" file. Hidden Files and Folders will need to be enabled. CF will start the First run wizard thing like when it was first installed. All settings are still saved, but make sure. Hope that helps...

I'll play with that tonight. I can get to the XM screen, by holding the '+' button a few seconds, and can change the com port, but don't see anywhere to check if it's set to 9600. I might just try to re-install and see how that goes..... I'll let you know

Thanks!

I'm not sure if I have advanced settings or not. I re-installed CF, still never got a chance to check the speed of the com port, and now I'm not even getting the 0/0 for channels that I was before...... frustrating.
