Satellite Radio delivers a variety of commercial-free
music from categories ranging from Pop, Rock, Country,
R&B, Dance, Jazz, Classical and many more plus cover­age of all the top professional and college sports includ­ing play by play games from select leagues and teams.
Additional programming includes expert sports talk,
uncensored entertainment, comedy, family program­ming, local traffic and weather and news from your most
trusted sources.

Once you’ve purchased a SIRIUS tuner you’ll need to
activate it and subscribe to begin enjoying the service.
Easy to follow installation and setup instructions are pro­vided with the SIRIUS tuner. There are a variety of pro­gramming packages available, including the option of
