ruh-roh! XM's website is down. No clue why, but if I get more details, I'll post them. But here's all that we see right now... (UPDATED: The NSAPI plugin error is now gone, and in it's place we see a "Web Site Maintenance" message shown below instead.)
UPDATE: Unofficially, there apparently were some major storms that are causing power issues in the area where the servers are located. This isn't the "official" word just yet, but all the info we have at the time. (Several people have confirmed that there were nasty storms in the area.)
UPDATE 2: Reports are coming in that there might be some Call Center issues as well, but they're unconfirmed right now. Broadcast facilities appear to up and running without any issues.
UPDATE 3: As noted in the comments XM Radio Online also is down, but XM's SEC filings system - and, in fact, the entire Investor Section (hosted on corporate-ir.net) - is up and running.
If anyone has any info or feedback, share them in the comments.
UPDATE 4: And XM's website is working again now... phew! disaster averted. Great job to the guys in tech, who I'm sure worked hard to get everything back up and running.
xm forget to pay the rental fees on its servers
Like the MLB deal they couldn't make their payments.
I had a feeling XM would declare BK before the end of the wek.
really kevin martin leaked the deal news today then mel ordered the xm site torn down...
as he signed the deal documents.....
xm canada is up
Hey Buddies!! Whats this button do?
It's all the traffic generated by the MLB Draft.
I had call issues today getting a radio activated. I called there 1-800 number and it was nothing!
Call center problems? Did they suspend OnA again? :o)
"Call center problems? Did they suspend OnA again? :o)"
Could two calls really do that much damage?
Was listening to the O&A replay just 20 mins ago and my inno was doing weird things like overlaying the traffic on top of them and cutting in/out with full signal. Weird...

Believe you me, those storms were pretty friggin' bad (assuming the servers are on location at XM's offices here in D.C.). I've got a ginormous tree branch in my back yard to prove it. Plus a few blocks from my house an entire telephone pole was literally taken out, though I suspect more that someone ran into it. I would not be surprised if the storms had some sort of monumental effect on XM's service.

DC got owned.
XM online is also unavailable, even through outside software
Friends in DC told me people are huddled in the middle of buildings, avoiding windows due to tornado warnings. Called to deactivate a receiver (sold the car) and got nothing at first, called back and got the message that the call center is closed.
The ick went blip, Nate is just practicing shutting down the works since bankruptcy is just around the corner "merge" or no "merge"
Xm just filed a shit load of sec reports--They declared bankruptsy---only kidding....but i just got emailed alot of docs where filed---Is this nightmare coming to an end.
Shows as "Site undergoing maintenance" now...
I work at an XM call center and XM is telling us that we are looking at tomorrow to be back up. Bunch of retards up there in DC.
Ryan, The XMradio.com page now says :http://206.173.179.67/xmmaint.jpg
Down for maintenance.
Maybe it is to update the site after the merger is announced.
Too hopeful?
Just went to Engadget.com and all it shows where the content normally shows is "Coming Soon".
Strange. Worked a half hour ago.
Works for me now.
XM Radio Online is working via the Vista Side Bar Gadget. 7:45 PM Central.
ITS UP NOW
The long nightmare is over.. what a relief... god if that dar gon site just went down for ten seconds longer XM would have been pronounced dead by every hick on this site...
Website is Up as of 7:30 PM CT
I guess that Nashville Star headline was more of a bitch than XM originally thought.
XMRADIO.CA was up and seemed to be working, but when you tried to go to listen online, it went to the maintenance page and was unavailable.
