That seems to be a very common problem with SiriusXM and most of the streaming services I've tried. Most of the premium streaming music services allow you to download hundreds or even thousands of songs to your device, so you don't even need to stream while on the road anymore. I could drive from my area to your area, which is about 300 miles one way, and back again and never hear a repeat of any of my downloaded Spotify music. That saves on cellular data and certainly is better than dead air from out of service areas, and there would be lots of those out in West Texas. Plus you can skip songs with Spotify, Pandora, Apple, etc. I can't remember if SiriusXM allowed you to skip, or even had a way to do it. They never allowed you to download songs though. Not sure if they do now. For some people though, SiriusXM might be the best solution if they want to drive around listening to sports stations and talk show stations. I don't listen to either of those though.
