How anyone can draw a conclusion that 300% MORE repeaters and some of those operating at higher power than originally sanctioned some how provides a superior space based signal is beyond me???

A lot of stuff is beyond you, apparently. I thought you were supposed to be an engineer?

What I have said, repeatedly, is that XM's GEO along with its repeaters, the system AS DESIGNED, provides better service than SIRI's.

Don't take my word for it:

groups.google.com

As you can see, these kinds of problems are TYPICAL for Sirius listeners.

Argue with me if you want to. You cannot argue with the facts.

>>> Just ask our friends up in Canada which service provides the best reception.

Obviously, in Canada SIRI's space segment should (and does) do a better job.

Canada isn't the market, however. The United States is.
