Kevin, I'm not sure about the repeater question, but I can tell you the XM has more repeathers than Sirius. I'm not sure about the boombox though. If you have you antena placed in a window, I should say on a window seil, it should work but you'll have to try it and see. I have had more luck getting the XM signal than I've had getting the Sirius signal. In fact, Sirius recomends you put their dish outside, but XM doesn't recomend that, although reception might be better with XM if you do that but I haven't had too, although I am upstairs and don't have that problem. It might be tricky being in a basement no mater which provider you chose. If I could only have one service, reception considered, I would have XM--no questions asked.
Hope this helps. If I can be of any further help, feel free to contact me offlist, and I'll be more than happy to help. I have the XM XMPCR device and love it.
