Good grief. I had no idea people have to worry about line of sight with
satellite radio. That is a *major* turn off.

It's not as bad as you might think, but if you're in an area with dense
trees, lots of tall buildings, or if you're going under a bridge or
through a tunnel, the radio will go silent.

A few months back we had a discussion about the fact they could greatly
improve the system by adding a 30 second buffer, and transmitting
everything twice to avoid most drop outs.
