Because of the problems with reception in my apartment, I have signed up with
their online service, which actually offers more channels, but I don't know if
you have to have the receiver, in other words, if you can get the subscription
without having purchased the receiver. That doesn't apply to us, as we also
have the service in our car.

I have been a member for a goodly number of years. About a year back the
reception began to get irregular. As I recall this occurred at about the time
that they raised the rates and joined up with another firm. After some
discussions with them I cancelled my subscription and went back to our local
KERA station in Dallas. Not as much selection but good signal strength.

I would be interested in hearing from any of you who have xm satelite radio
regarding any reception issues you have had with home units and how you have
resolved them. I have been an xm subscriber for several years and have had
reasonably good reception with the antenna in my home office, even though there
is no south facing window. At times the reception was intermittent but it has
worked fairly well most of the time. However. for the past few months, my
reception has been terrible. Some days, good reception, but most days no signal
at all or a signal so poor that I can't listen to it. Nothing has changed in
the environment as far as I can tell. I have talked several times with the
tech people and none of their suggestions has helped. I have tried different
locations for the antenna with no success and also exchanged the units a couple
of times. It did work for a while in the bedroom in a south facing window but I
don't want to use it there. So have any of you had more problems than usual
with the signal lately? Have any of you tried mounting the antenna outside or
if so, did it make a difference. As much as I like the programming, I am about
to give up on it and cancel the service since I am certainly not getting what I
am paying for. John
