music and entertainment you want.

information about the song being
played, and they understand that
sometimes it's best to just let the
music speak for itself.

superior coverage.
Only SIRIUS has three powerful
satellites that fly directly over the U.S.
ensuring coast-to-coast coverage with
high elevation angles. This gives the
satellites a "clear line of sight" to your
car or home, with much less concern
for buildings, trees or other objects
that might block conventional satellite
signals.
Once you experience more than 120
channels of digital entertainment,
you'll never want to leave your car.
