I don't understand satellite radio.. Ok in an airplane. But why in a car? In the Netherlands all radio is FM and its for free. Why would somebody want satellite

  There is probably several FM radio stations in range of you wherever you are on the interstates in the United States. However, there may not always be stations in the genres of music you like. The frequencies are also not always consistent so as you travel from city to city you'll have to scan around to find something you may enjoy listening to. Its not like you can tune in to an FM talk radio station in New York and expect to still be listening to the same thing on the same frequency in San Francisco.

  There is, but you won't find a station for every genre everywhere you go. I doubt you'd find that anywhere to be honest.

  I never understood it until someone I know had it in his company car. He told me they pay for it because when they do long distance, FM networks would keep switching. That's when I understood their market. The current top comment is from a truck driver that pretty much confirm this. In road trip you never had channels that stop receiving? They pay 5$ a month to avoid to switch in theses situations ;).

  Once you throw mountains into the picture, it becomes pretty hard to have coverage everywhere.
