Loading is a sign that you are not getting a signal. If your antenna has a
clear view if the sky you should not have a problem receiving the signal.
Sometimes, however, if you are real close to a building beside you and it is
a tall one it may block the signal. Just make sure you are outdoors and not
within 20+ feet of a tall building. I have had my XM for 2 years and mine
is a Poineer. No problems ever.
