No, I'm using the commonly available numbers comparing the efficiency of PAC with AACPlus.

Which version of PAC are you using as your baseline for comparIson? What about Statistical Multiplexing? You did add that into your calculations? Didn't you?

There is a reason that NOBODY but SIRI is using PAC.

More OPINONS presented as FACTS?

You do understand that both services have HM at their disposal, right? XM's gain is apt to be more than SIRI's, just because of the sheer inability of SIRI's sats to generate sufficient power to increase the symbol rate.

I think you need to stop reading "Popular Science" in the restroom at your local "Gas' n' Go"

That must be why XM has 300% more terrestrial repeaters? Yeap!! Much bigger Link Budget.. Build more repeaters. Makes since to me.

It is as designed. So freaking what?

Let's review here.. More Power from the space segment.. More Repeaters!!

Maybe you can explain how they are doing video channels with those lower link budgets?

Hell, XM is using half as many repeaters today as they were when they went live, so their space segment is obviously performing better than expected.

LOL! Better than expected.. but, still 300% more than Sirius..

Yeap, Yeap, Yeap.. Makes sense to me.

This is one more example of your general view that if you shout more loudly you are correct.

Let's see.. In the same post that you wrote this statement. You wrote the following:

"No, I'm using the commonly available numbers comparing the efficiency of PAC with AACPlus. These data are readily available to you if you will seek it out. There is a reason that NOBODY but SIRI is using PAC.

ROTLMAO!! Hey.. Partner.. Lay off that BOLD shouting if you don't mind..

There is a reason that NOBODY but SIRI is using PAC.

Alright!! We hear you.. No reason to scream.. We got it.. nobody. No need to yell!!

For many of those posting here, they probably believe your BS. Some of us aren't so gullible.

Hey, I am not the one posting MY OPINIONS as FACTS!
