Sirius comes from cell sites? I'm confused. The only time I have signal issues is if some big structure is preventing the top on my Jeep from seeing the sky. Isn't it called satellite radio because it comes from a satellite up there in the sky?

In certain cities, like NY, the signal is augmented by terrestrial repeaters.
