Can you please tell me if you're getting Artist and Song information on channels 8, 9, 20 or 64? (and yes I know you need to push the DISP button to get them to come up). I noticed that I'm not getting artist and song information on those channels and I'm wondering if it's happening to everyone. Also, have you noticed the little "cm" on the display on certain channels (21 and 22 to name a couple)? I think XM is adding commercials to those channels. They have a lot of ball$ to play commercials when one of their main selling points is "commercial-free". Kinda' makes you want to rethink paying for radio.

My H3 is at the dealership today so I can't go check it, that and I have an after market head unit but I did check online. I did get artist and song info on channel 64 but not on 8, 9 or 20. I did notice that is was not displaying this info on a number of channels. Maybe they are upgrading some equipment or having some issues they are working on.

If you read XM's brochure, out of 170 stations, only 69 are commercial free. (Sirius is around 120 with 68 commericial free...last time I looked.) So, if you were thinking all stations were commerical free...think again.
Channels 21 and 22 are Clear Channels and are not commerical free. There was an email sent to all subscribers a month ago, with listings for new stations (both commerical and commerical free), and changes to existing stations.
In addition, when some stations have a special broadcast on, they do not list the artists. I agree, this is aggravating, but certainly not a need to cancel in my mind.
