I know that WorldSpace are offering satellite radio in Europe, I was wondering if there is a satellite radio module available for the E60 which is compatible? Does the SIRIUS module work with WorldSpace?
Many thanks!

I just bought the WorldSpace radio just a few weeks ago....
DO NOT BUY IT !!!!! It is a total $hit. Worst 200$ waste I ever made.
It does not work well. The signal is very very week and no way it can be used as portable or in a moving car. That is total nonsense. You have to measure the signal and antena position with compas and place the antena out of the house to even get the signal and the funny part is that the antena is not even waterproof. !!!! The audio quality sucks even if you get the strongest signal - BY PLACING THE ANTENA ON THE ROOF OF THE house!!!!
The stations suck and most of them are Islam or Arabic or Indian anyway. Only like 5 reasonable European stattions.
I've tried to return it and they would not let me!!!!
It is a total rip-off. BE WARE of WorldSPace !!!!

I have to say WORLDSPACE has not upgraded their system much since their last satellite of 2000. The UK is about 50% covered so I believe the part that is covered would be on the fringe. I do not think they use repeaters yet but I could be wrong. There primary technique should be like XM radio uses and they have to have a lot of repreaters in cities (large buildings). I don't know if members down south in Spain or Italy or even in Middle East have tried them and have reports on their performance.
