What is SIRIUS Satellite
Radio?
Over 100 streams of the best in-car
entertainment and completely
commercial-free music
Only SIRIUS has 60 original music
streams, from today's hits to R&B
oldies to classical masterpieces. From
authentic country and real bluegrass to
cool jazz, hot latin, reggae, rock, and
many more. Best of all, it's all
commercial free, aSirius exclusive.
Sirius also has over 40 streams of
world-class sports, news and
entertainment, like ESPN, NHL, NBA,
MLB, CNBC, Fox News, Radio Disney
and
E! Entertainment Radio.
With SIRIUS, the emphasis is on the
music and entertainment you want.
The music is hosted by Sirius Stream
Jockeys, who are true experts. They
back up the music with compelling
information about the song being
played, and they understand that
sometimes it's best to just let the music
speak for itself.
Rely on SIRIUS rocket science for
superior coverage
Only SIRIUS has three powerful
satellites that fly directly over the US
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.
Count on S>PLEX technology for
superior sound resolution
SIRIUS employs S>PLEX technology
(statistical multiplexing), which
optimizes the fidelity
on each channel
to give you superior digital sound. So
rock really soars, jazz really jams and
country really sings.
Once you experience over 100
streams ofdigital entertainment, you'll
neverwant to leave your car. For more
