The fact that SIRI is having to launch a fourth satellite next year (not coincidentally, they have selected a GEO) to provide adequate service -- something they clearly wouldn't do were it not absolutely essential.

I really don't understand what you are talking about.. I have been using a SIRI equiped rent a car for several weeks.. It has worked fine? You seem to indicate that SIRI's system is superiour in the Northern Latitudes, but I am way far south in San Diego. The radio has worked fine for me!! Do you actually have a Sirius radio?? Or are you relying on other BITTER peoples comments? Are these the same people with the blow up modulation analyzer you were talking about.

Even without the massive number of reports of reception problems with Sirius, it should be intuitively obvious to you that that SIRI's satellite infrastructure, presumably a good idea on paper, simply didn't do the job.

Why should it be "intuitively obvious" to me?? I don't spend my waking hours reading other BITTER souls Internet Chatter about their baised opinions. So I rented a Van from Avis with a Sirius solution installed. I have driven it all over the Southern US in the past month... It has worked fine.

So should I take your BITTER word for it, which is largely based on other BITTER souls "internet chat room talk". Or should I take my personal experiences as FACT??

Hmmm.. Not much of a question with that one.

It certain it to rational people.

ROTFLMAO!! More "complete sentences" on your part?

If you could get your head out of your ass for about 30 seconds perhaps you could figure it out.

Why would I need to figure it out?? I have done actual tests in a real production automobile over the last month. Open roads and in the city, in the middle of the desert and up at 8,000 feet. It works fine.. I don't need to figure anything out based on your "BITTER" Opinions. I have personal experience as my data. Not some Internet Chat Room as a verifiable source that turned out to be YOU talking to yourself.

And so it goes,
