Sirius in Europe
Guys,
I have shipped my Jeep to the UK and I was wondering whether I should be able to receive Sirius Satellite radio here?
I know that Sirius doesn't advertise it but that doesn't necessarilly have to mean I can't receive it. Any info would be much appreciated.

It is my understanding that the satellites orbit in a figure 8 pattern, mostly over north America. I do not think it will work across the pond. Sorry. If you have the premium subscription, you could listen over the internet. Not much of a consolation though.

The iPhone application is available from the SiriusXM website. The application comes with a complimentary 7 day trial subscription and then requires a Premium Internet subscription on your account after the trial. Also note, there are 120+ channels from both services available on the Internet account / iPhone application but some specific channels are not available (Howard Stern as an example).
Hope this helps.

I asked XM this b/f they became Sirius as I was going to take a portable unit over to England one time when I traveled there. They said no, that the satellites are positioned to work for the U.S. area only. That was about 1.5 yrs ago, so I don't know if that has changed. Do you guys not have any type of Satellite Radio over there???

I'm actually surprised that Sirius/XM or etc. haven't secured satellite coverage for Europe and/or other countries. It seems that the best way to build is to expand??? Maybe they can't get agreements with those countries to use their satellites??

As for Sirius and the iPhone... the app isn't available in the UK iTunes Store. There's only one thing for it and that's moving to the US...
