| ok, I thought I had understood that XM radio was satellite based but if it is truly satellite based, why do I get "black outs" in the same spots every day? The black-out spots are not in any valleys, there aren't any high tension lines, commercial or residential satellite dishes, etc... I simply have no idea why it blacks out for a second or two in the same two areas on my 7 mile commute. Any ideas??? |

| sometimes, driving on roads lined with many tall trees will cause a momentary blackout in my pilot. |

| Both places don't have really tall trees - maybe 20 feet tall or so. Most of the commute, between the two dead spots, is lined with taller trees. One of the locations is infamous for having really bad cell phone reception (regardless of the cell phone carrier). |

| XM and Sirius are in the band just above PCS. Sometimes when I an very close to a cell site it overloads my sat receiver. |

| I was wondering that, too, but one of the locations of the dead-zones is also a location where there is no cell phone reception at all. |
