Review Of Satellite Radio - How Much It Worth?

By AnsweringPhoneServices.com

Tips! No loss of signal. Because the signal is digital and transmitted to a group of satellites that orbit high above the earth in the atmosphere, there are no obstructions like trees, buildings, or even the curvature of the earth's surface that can prevent you from receiving any of the available channels no matter where you go.

This is the first and perhaps the biggest technology advancement of radio since FM decades ago. Soon we may all be hooked up to satellite radio.

No matter how advanced the technology becomes for pre-recorded music, all of us still need the radio. There is something warm and fuzzy listening to your favorite disc jockey play the music that you like. However, there is a new technology opening up in the radio market; satellite radio.

All of us have experienced, particularly in our cars, when the radio signal fades or is over driven by static. All of this comes from the fact that most radio stations cannot broadcast their signal beyond 30 or 40 miles up 100 miles, depending on the terrain and the frequency, from the transmitting tower.

Now with eh new technology of satellite radio, you could drive all the way across the country listening to the same radio station. Although satellite radio is not just for automobiles, industry sources say that is where the future lies. With eh signal being broadcast, not from the highest mountain around but from 22,000 miles in space, you will never lose the signal.

Tips! Sure, out here on the West Coast we have these great, cheeky commercials that poke fun at competing technologies, those ads that point to the techno-wars between satellite dish and cable companies, including ComCast cable and the Direct TV dish, for example.

Even at home, the wind blows and the neighbor's big tree next door starts moving and then the signal fades. On the other hand, in the big city, you just cannot receive your favorite FM station because the other tall buildings block the signal. That will never happen again with satellite radio.

Moreover, I have to add that, because satellite radio is a paid-for service much like your cable TV, there would be few if any commercial interruptions of your music listening pleasure. The two big players in the satellite radio business, also called digital radio, are XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio. Each is offering near CD quality music beamed to your home, office, or car from outer space.

Tips! Great for travel. No need to pack up the CD player and all your CDs when traveling to listen to your favorite music, just listen to your satellite radio.

For several years now, the automobile industry has been offering satellite radio in some of their most popular models. Now though, there are many portable units available for you to receive satellite radio. Because the signal from the satellite radio is digital, the sound quality is much better than what most people are used to when listening to their radios.

The content on satellite radio is much greater than what you would receive on your own standard radio just like what you get on your cable TV hook-up. You can expect around 100 stations with more being added every day. Receiving satellite radio requires that you purchase a special receiver and you must pay a monthly service charge of around $10.

Tips! You'll need to contact your satellite TV provider to activate your system.

However, the cost is minimal when you consider the large number and huge variety of stations that are available. Of course, there are numerous stations that play on a certainly genre of music so you never have to wait for the whim of the DJ to finally get to your favorite artist. News, weather, and talk channels are on satellite radio.
