| Radio Programming
from the StarsTechnology has given us a new gift, the gift of Satellite
radio. No longer are the days of AM and FM stations tuning out on road trips
to California. Satellite radio's signal never fades, never produces static,
and certainly will never bore you. At Abt, we carry the latest selection
of satellite radios.
We have also created this page to help you on your search for your new
listening pleasure, the Satellite radio. Digital Satellite RadioDigital
satellite radio brings us many advantages over our current broadcast system.
Having more stations to choose from is only the beginning with Satellite
Radio.
Up to 170 Channels
Imagine being able to find a radio station that plays exactly the kind
of music you like. We're talking about being able to choose oldies music
by decade, finding a station that plays nothing but Broadway show tunes,
and choosing between classic jazz, contemporary jazz, or smooth jazz.
Fewer or no Commercials
The majority of digital satellite radio channels have no commercials at
all.
Sound Quality
The sound quality on Satellite radio is comparable to that of a CD player
and sometimes better. Below we have created a series of questions that
will help you on your search for a new Satellite Radio. It's important
to understand that there are two different companies behind Satellite
Radio, at this time. If you'd like more information on both companies
Sirius or XM radio, and if you need any further questions answered regarding
Satellite radio you should contact one of our very knowledgeable sales
person at 888-228-5800.
Is there a monthly fee?
Yes, just as with cable and satellite TV, there is a monthly fee. XM and
Sirius charges $12.95 per month. (Prices subject to change). These fees
are paid directly to the satellite radio companies. One low monthly fee
gets you all of their programming including on-line streaming at no extra
charge.

rates?

each per month. Sirius also offers multi-subscription plans up to 3 additional
radios for the same price of $6.99 each per month.

XM and Sirius offers 69 commercial-free music channels with genres like:
Rock, Hits, Urban (Hip-Hop), Decades (40's through 90's), Jazz, Blues,
Classical, Christian, Latin and more.
How's the sound?
Being a digital satellite system, both XM and Sirius are able to offer
exceptional sound that's CD-like, without the static and interference
that frequents traditional radio.
Is the reception affected by things like heavily wooded areas? What
about tunnels?
Things like highway overpasses and tress won't usually cause any problems,
but there are some rare obstructions that no satellite signal can penetrate.
