Tangentially related. I hadn't heard of SiriusXM before so checked out their website. The homepage is a bit confusing and I'm not 100% sure what it is or why I need to pay separately if I listen inside or outside of a car? I get that it's a music streaming service of sorts just not sure what their angle is exactly. Spotify for instance doesn't care where I listen to the music I'm just paying to stream it wherever I want.
- commandlinefan 7y agoThey used to charge separately for streaming vs. satellite, but they've recently combined them: one subscription now gets you satellite coverage (in the car) and streaming (on your phone).
- freeone3000 7y agoThey run a constellation of satellites such that satellite receivers, mounted commonly in cars, can receive programming for music. The internet offering is a new thing.

- rconti 7y agoIt's a merger of two satellite radio systems. They have satellites hanging in orbit over North America, so you can get coverage in places where there's no cellular data coverage for streaming. And of course you can stream 24x7 endlessly, no data charges, because it's a broadcast.
