Interesting.... I did not know it would extend all the way into South America. Wonder how many subscribers there are down there.

Also it hits western africa.

So do you suppose the shaded area is the actual coverage from the bird?

I was told (by Sirius) that they don't cover Hawaii.

Cool information. Thanks for the post.

I believe that the shaded areas are the Night time/ Daytime areas of the globe. not the signal range.

pretty cool. Any idea how many and where the XM sats are. As much as I like Sirius over XM, XM does offer more services. Besides having a monopoly it makes you wonder why XM wants Sirius.
