What is the XM WX Satellite Weather coverage area?

XM is only licensed to provide service to the contiguous US (All states except Alaska and Hawaii), its territories and adjacent waters. XM's satellite signal reaches into portions of Canada and Mexico however, XM's service is not currently authorized for sale in Canada, Mexico or any other region outside of the contiguous United States. However, through consumer testimonials WxWorx has determined that the XM signal reaches far beyond the US borders and coastal waters. Visit the Unofficial XM Coverage Map for additional information on where you can receive the signal.

How far outside the continental US are the XM WX weather data available?

The radar data is derived from the 145 ground-based sites in the U.S. NEXRAD network, which covers the contiguous United States, and up to approximately 150 miles outside the borders of the 48 States and coastal waters depending on the actual location of the Doppler Radar. The lightning data covers up to approximately 200 miles outside the borders of the 48 States. Other products when and where available such as winds aloft, fronts, infrared satellite mosaic, sea temps, wave heights etc. are generally viewable to about 500-800 miles outside of the borders of the 48 States. Coverage is not available in or around Hawaii. This information should serve as a general guideline with the understanding that while the coverage may well exceed 500-800 miles in some case, depending on antenna type and placement, we cannot provide specific coverage availability and details for locations outside of the borders of the 48 States other than what we have stated here.

Will the WxWorx receiver also give me XM Satellite Radio's music and news programming?

The WxWorx receiver is only capable of receiving the XM WX weather data service. To receive XM Radio music and news programming you need a separate XM radio receiver that you can purchase elsewhere, and establish a separate subscription with XM for that service. If you have both an XM WX weather data service package and XM radio subscription, XM will give you a $3.00 per month discount on your radio subscription if activated under the same account. You can use the one XM antenna that is provided with your receiver kit to provide signal to your XM radio receiver. You will need to purchase a patch cable that connects your WxWorx receiver to your XM radio receiver.
