Hey. I have a 2022 MME GT and I have a full Sirius subscription. If you look at your radio presets some of the channels have a blue star on them and some don't the ones that HAVE the blue star allow you to rewind songs from that station even while your tuned into another one. Does anyone know how it's decided which stations get that BLUE Star?

Tap Sirius XM icon on center screen. Select a station that you want as a favorite; tap on the station name on the screen (like 80's on 8). The blue star will appear to the left of the station name. Tap on the station name again and the blue star will disappear. My 70's on 7 station has a blue star and a startover button on its screen. I selected a couple of other stations as favorites (blue star) but the startover icon did not appear. I think there is another step that has to be performed to get that icon. I will try to find out if that is the case and get back to you.

I think the first leftmost preset station in the upper tier is the only place the startover icon appears (maybe??). However, all of my preset stations (blue star on or off) allows me to rewind the song to the place where song was at when I selected the station. Not sure if this helps but this is all I could find.

I'll try it. It seems random about what stations is blue starred. I think 7 or so of my 36 have the blue star

The start over icon seems to be for shows and times where a DJ is hosting. I see it when the MTV VJs are doing their shows on 80s on 8 but if it's just music without a DJ there's nor start over. It always seems to show if it's a SXM show like a countdown. I haven't paid attention foe the Kasey Kasem one though - SXM may not have the rights to let people scrub that one.

Well, looks like my theory isn't 100%. Larry the Duck's show.canr be restarted but Mark Goodman's sheo can be. ?

It's not the shows either because that's just the countdown and some random things. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

I went through all of my presets yesterday evening and found one other station that had the startover icon; it was the 60's on 6 channel which is in the lower right hand side of the lowest tier of presets. I checked our 2022 MME (information I've shared so far was on our 2023 MME) and none of the presets have the startover icon shown. So, yep, things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm lol.

I think I have figured it out. All you need to do is "tap" the station logo on the display and it will toggle the blue star on and off. Doesn't seem to be a limit as to how many you can have. I do know that certain shows are pre-recorded and that may have an effect on when you can rewind.

Yeah, that is what I posted in my first reply. Wish I knew how the start over icon works; it will actually take you back to the beginning of a show or to the beginning of a DJ's show. I have start over icon on my 70's on 7 and 60's on 6 channels but not on any of other presets on my 2023 MME; none of our presets (same channels as 2023) have a start over icon. "Tune Start" is turned on in both MME's.
