Hi there Kevin! I have had XM for quite some time now, and experience very little trouble with it. Occasionally the signal will fade out for short periods of time, but I have for the most part had good luck with it. I am on the second floor which probably helps-they say though that you should have an east or south facing window for best performance although my north and west windows serve me adequately. I have never had any other satilite service so cannot honestly comment on it. I have a sky box and find it very easy to use either from the buttons on the front of the unit or using the remote. Good LUCK..! [{KF8LT}{JIM WOHLGAMUTH}].
