It's just incredible. Motorists who travelled from one end of the United States to the another end can now listen continuously to the same radio station all the way. You start to hear another radio station or hissing static once you over extend the reach of conventional radio station of about 30 to 40 miles. Satellite radio doesn't just benefit the avid motorists, residents staying in rural areas can now acess the satellite radio. So what's else is so hot about satellite radio? Satellite radio is also digital radio which means you have access to over 100 radio channels. You have a broad range of programming like classical, jazz, sports, soul, country, hip hop, reggae, weather, traffice news, talk shows by popular artistes, and popular news channels like CNN, BBC, Fox news. Sound quality is exceptional and is almost CD like and you won't face static problem. Do you hate commercials over radio? Then you like satellite radio. There's hardly any commercial compared to traditioal radio which can serve up to 25 minutes of commercial time for every hour of radio programming.
