Satellite radio is a digital broadcast service that uses direct broadcasting satellites (DBS). Its signal covers millions of square miles and transmits to homes, cars and portable radios.
The difference between satellite radio and conventional radio is that satellite radio is commercial free. It also has a large programming library with more channels than conventional radio.
It’s available in all parts of the country and is a great way to listen to music and talk shows without having to drive long distances. It also has a variety of stations geared toward different age groups, if you’re looking for a particular genre of music.
What equipment do I need to use satellite radio?
If you want to listen to satellite radio in your car, you’ll need a Dock & Play satellite radio tuner, an antenna and a subscription. These devices are available from many manufacturers and can be used on both your vehicle and your home stereo system.
Dedicated Car Satellite Radios
A dedicated car satellite radio connects to your vehicle’s in-dash stereo and uses a special antenna that sits on top of the car. These are typically found in luxury cars but can be found in other vehicles, as well.
Dedicated Home Satellite Radios
A satellite radio receiver connected to your home stereo system also uses a special antenna. These are also commonly called docking stations and can be placed in a dock on a table, desk or other furniture to connect to a receiver and play through a stereo system.
