Satellite radio reception
Satellite radio signals are best received in areas with a clear view of the
open sky. In areas where there are tall buildings, trees, tunnels or other
structures that may obstruct the signal of the satellites, there may be
signal interruptions. Other circumstances that may result in signal loss
include driving near a wall, steep cliff, hill or driving on the lower level of
a multi-tiered road or inside of a parking garage.
To help reduce this condition, satellite radio providers have installed
ground-based repeaters in heavily populated areas. However, you may
still experience reception problems in some areas.
