2. How is your programming different from regular radio?
SIRIUS differs from regular radio in several ways.
SIRIUS is unique because we stay true to the artists and their music by broadcasting
100% commercial-free music. So, unlike traditional radio, all of our original music channels have no commercials – ever!
SIRIUS offers original programming — not recycled radio. Our original music channels play songs from the most popular to the obscure, and everything in between. From crunch-core metal to spoken word, from bubble-gum pop to vintage jazz — we’ve got what you want and more. And if you're looking for a more intimate experience, our national broadcast studio hosts hundreds of exclusive live interviews and performances you won’t hear anywhere else.
3. What is Statistical Multiplexing?
Our Statistical Multiplexing technology dynamically allocates bandwidth to the channels that need it most. SIRIUS is the only satellite radio provider that does this. What it means for you is better overall sound quality and superior sound resolution, so you hear the music/programming the way it was intended.
4. Where does the name SIRIUS come from?
“SIRIUS” is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major and the Northern Hemisphere. It was named after the ancient Egyptian god Osirus, who was represented pictographically as a dog, giving SIRIUS its more familiar name: the Dog Star.
5. What equipment do I need to get SIRIUS?
There are many ways to get SIRIUS. You can get SIRIUS installed in your car or you can take SIRIUS from your car to your home, office, boat and beyond with our new
Plug & Play systems.
6. How do I activate my SIRIUS radio?
