XM Radio

What's that? A different type of modulation? Anybody know the skinny on this? I'll do a quick search and see what I can find. Nothing like the internet and Mountain Dew to keep me from going to sleep...😉

edit: Wow...cool...digital music from the sky. 😀 The price is still too high right now. I'm sure the record labels will just love the idea of high quality, digital, recordable media openly available. I wonder what kind of "black box" market this will spawn.

It's broadcast over s-band (i think) from 2 satellites named "rock" & "roll" (fittingly) that are in geosynchronous orbit above the USA

there's also ground repeaters for major cities where buildings would interfere with the signal

you need special radios and antennas to receive the signal, but there are *supposed* to be less commercials, and also you have your choice of tons of genres (80+ channels i believe)
