Default Sirius XM

Having a blast getting Sirius weather to display on my Garmin aera 796. To the best of my knowledge my subscription is good. Garmin say if I can hear the preview channel music and see the Sirius bars next to the GPS signal bars , that my GPS and GMX 42 are working properly.
I have the aircraft outside with the GMX 42 having a clear view of the sky. 796 on and tuned to channel 1 (preview channel) and GPS has a fix on my location. Called Sirius and re-activated my signal and no go after 30 minutes.
Any ideas what else to try, what am I missing?
Been trying for two days.
Thanks Ron

Ron,

You might just simply have the weather function turned off. Scroll through the weather pages and see if that might be the problem.

Yeah, I will admit that it tripped me up once too!
