My friends and I go on a 5 day houseboat trip on Lake Mead every October... and it always coincides with the Division Series.

Last year wasn't so bad since the Angels weren't in it(bad that we weren't in it but not bad because I didn't have to worry about hearing/watching the games).  A couple of my friends are Dodger die hards and all we had was a little hand held radio.  We couldn't get reception on the lake, then hiked up to  the top of a hill where we got scratchy reception.

I'd like to do better than that.

I'm willing to pony up 250 bucks + short term subscription to get a portable XM radio so that I can clearly hear the broadcast of the game.

I'm also willing to buy some sort of antenna that could hook up to a TV.

What I'm not willing to do is sit there down 250 bucks and go WTF!, why can't I hear the broadcast on XM??? or WTF?!? why can't I get the game on my TV Antenna???

Does anyone have advice as to what I should do?
