Default Canada in Digital Radio Limbo (and so is everyone else)

XM has decent coverage on S Band.

Its via satellite so there usually won't be half a city between the
transmitter and your radio. Does it work indoors? I'll bet it doesn't.




Hit or miss. I've gotten satellite reception indoors without an
external antenna, internal antenna only, and without ear a window.
But it was a frame house.

When I checked the antenna orientation function on the radio, it
showed that, indeed I was receiving satellite signal, and not the
terrestrial repeater.

Near a window, no problem. With an external antenna, exceptional
reception.

So, yes, it does work, indoors. But it's not always easy.
