Our Sirius receiver worked from Ensenada all the way to Cabo including San Jose. Could loss of reception have something to do with solar flares or
technical problems with the satellite? I hear more complaints about XM than I do with Sirius but that should not be construed as a scientific survey.

I hope the merger goes through because I think the two company's survival depends on it.
Serius works well here in Mulege and did not lose reception anywhere on the multiple trips up and down. I have a Sportster receiver and a car kit plus
a boombox that I use in the house with the small antenna through the window and on the ground outside. All bought at Radio Shack. Never any problems.
I have been concerned because the receiver gets very hot, but so far, no problems in two years.
My only complaint is that they spent too much money on Howard whose schtick gets tiresome fast. He could bring down the company. They also just
dropped C-Span which ran all the Sunday morning TV network news programs in succession. We lost a good source for staying plugged in, if one cares.
Journalism is a lot like watching a train wreck. You can't turn away even though you don't like what is happening. If you think, "So what?", I
understand.

Anyone heard anything about which equipment will work or will both?
I do love my Sirius but I also like what I have heard on XM. Seems like a win win situation for the listening public.

This I got from XM a couple days ago
February 20, 2007
Dear XM Radio Subscriber:
We want to share with you some exciting news: Yesterday, in Washington DC, we announced XM Radio will be merging with Sirius Satellite Radio to form
the premier digital audio service.
The merger will create a satellite radio company that will provide consumers across the country with more and better premium radio programming. The
combined company will be able to compete better in what has become a very complex and dynamic entertainment market.
Where today our exclusive contracts mean you had to choose between baseball and football or Oprah and Martha Stewart, the new company will seek to
ensure that in the future, you will be able to access both companies' programming. And, once we are fully integrated, those of you who have
factory-installed satellite radio will no longer be limited to the programming provided by the exclusive satellite radio service chosen by their car
manufacturer.
This merger should be completed in late 2007 or early in 2008. Throughout the year, we will provide updates on how the merger is progressing and
information will be available at our website, www.xmradio.com.
Between today and the merger date, as well as during the period immediately after the merger date, all of your services will remain the same. The
channel lineup, the customer service number, the great music technology, and the XM Radio web site will all remain unchanged and there will be no
disruption to service. But, if you have questions, information will be available and maintained on our website, and you can contact our Listener Care
team at 800-XMRADIO, with questions and concerns.
XM Radio continues to be committed to providing you the highest quality audio entertainment and customer service available today. After the merger,
our new company will be able to offer you the most exciting listening experience in radio.
Sincerely,
Hugh Panero
CEO, XM Satellite Radio
I'm told all will remain the same, XM receivers getting XM and Sirius receivers getting only Sirius programing until well after the merger and new
receivers developed,
