My Sports Zone FAQs
Q: What is My Sports Zone?
A: My Sports Zone category is a virtual category which will display sports games which are currently being broadcast on
SiriusXM along with the current score and game details.
Q: I selected leagues for My Sports Zone but I don’t see the My Sports Zone virtual category?
A: A subscription package that includes the play-by-play sports channels of the desired leagues is required. For example,
if you selected the NFL, and your subscription package did not include NFL play-by-play sports channels, they will not be
shown in My Sports Zone. Check your subscription package to confirm that it includes the play-by-play sports channels
for the desired leagues before selecting any leagues.
Q: My subscription package did not include the play-by-play channels of a sports league, but the SiriusXM Roady BT
still allows me to select leagues. Will they be shown in My Sports Zone?
A: No. We recommend you do not select leagues that are not included in your subscription package.
Song and Artist Alert FAQs
Q: What are Song and Artist Alerts?
A: You can save both songs and artists to be alerted the song or the artist begins playing on any SiriusXM music channel.
Q: How many songs and artists can I save for alerts?
A: You can save a total of 100 songs and artists.
Q: I have saved several artists for Artist Alerts, but I find that the alerts have become disruptive. What can I do?
A: If you save an Artist Alert, an alert will occur every time a song by that artist begins playing on any music channel to
which you are subscribed. Since some artists have their own channel, this can result in frequent Artist Alerts. Here are
some suggestions:
• Turn off the Song/Artist Alerts. This way the alerts will not interrupt the audio, but you can turn them back on
when desired.
• For popular artists, or those artists who have their own channel on SiriusXM, rather than saving an Artist Alert,
save a Song Alert instead.
Q: I saved a Song Alert but I only receive the Song Alert when one particular artist sings the song. Why?
A: The Song Alert is associated with the artist that was singing the song when you saved the Song Alert. If you wish to
have a Song Alert when the same song sung by a different artist, you’ll need to save another Song Alert while the song is
being sung by the different artist.
Q: Why don’t I receive Song/Artist Alerts when I am in menu settings?
A: Song/Artist Alerts do not occur while you are in the menu settings so they do not interrupt you. When you exit menu
settings, they will resume.
