Are you using MSN Direct on your HU and if so, did reception change on it? There are times now that my MSN Direct seems to drop the signal.

Sorry about the delay on responding to your post... About the Msn direct, I am totally clueless (old guy syndrome) I saw that feature on there, and pushed the button, but it looks like I'd have to register or sign up or something. Is it a subsription service ? Some sort of monthly pay thingy or is it free? I probably should do a little research (RTFM)

I like the service, but unfortunately MSN Direct is discontinuing the service in two years.
