XM And Sirius Specs
In June 2005, Sirius signed an agreement with BBC Radio 1 in the UK to rebroadcast The Chris Moyles Show and other daily shows to an American audience. To get in the satellite game, you'll need to buy a Sirius or XM Radio tuner. Satellite radio is more than the lastest fad technology.

The deal with NPR was the first high-profile deal entered into by Sirius. XM Radio provides excellent coast-to-coast signal coverage to the densely populated regions of Canada through its satellites and a robust ground repeater network installed in major metropolitan areas.
XM Radio Online offers all of the XM Satellite Radio channels for which they have Internet performance rights. Each satellite radio receiver uses a small, car-phone-sized antenna to receive the XM signal. All of XM Radio's music channels are 100% commercial free.
XM Radio features 160 digital channels Some satellite radio models are designed to work with real-time traffic information services. With the release of the first real digital AM/FM radio receiver, satellite radio may have some real competition to worry about. To use a brand-specific car satellite radio tuner, you need to have a name-brand, satellite radio-ready in-dash stereo. Each satellite service offers close to 70 commercial-free music channels. A portable satellite radio has a rechargeable battery and a built-in antenna, and can be listened to via headphones anywhere the satellite radio signal can be received.
