Both XM satellites are south of the US near the equator. One is at 85 degrees W. Latitude, and the other is at 115 degrees W. Latitude. So, any solid object between the antenna and the sats could block or make the XM skip. However, if in a city or large urban area, XM has repeaters that broadcast the signal.
Yes, they do have a small buffer; not sure, maybe 10 or 15 seconds?
