I'm looking into getting satallite radio and would like to listen to it inside as well as out in my car.

Anyone have this in an apartment building and if so, is there a problem with reception?

I had satellite radio until just recently. I had a dish on my roof and the data came in through a cable to my speakers. My service provider then switched from XM to Sirius for programming so I canceled it.

You would probably need landlords permission to install a dish receiver on the building.

Some cable companies offer XM or Sirius, and that may be the way to go if your building is cable ready. There are other players in the satellite radio market too. Check the reviews out there.
