[opendtv] Re: Satellite radio

Bob,
Not in my neighborhood. I use XM radio mostly in my bedroom with a home kit, and with a belt pack adapter for mowing the lawn and other outdoor chores. There are no TRs in the Greater Lansing Area, and when I put it in the car for our semiannual treks to Florida to visit relatives, about the only place I hit with TRs is Atlanta.
I'm very happy with the performance of XM via satellite. In fact, given the closeness I am to a certain FM transmitter, I am much happier than I am with OTA FM at my house. 

My Brother-in-Law uses Sirius, and he's happy with that service as well.

I checked it out. They have 16 repeaters for Manhattan alone and more
than 40 for the city.  Using 700 MHz you could do a great job with 4
or 5 for the city and 10 for the greater NYC area IMO.

Always said that XM was a terrestrial radio company using their
satellites as a device to get by the NAB.
