Q: XM satellite radio doesn't display full lines
The XM satellite radio in my navigation is great, but it is also frustrating because there are only a few characters on the title line that will display on the screen. Only about 8 characters per line will display. For example, a football score will be: MSU 10 N -- can’t know who is playing if you just tuned in. Is there a solution to this problem?
