Comments on: Satellite Radio’s A La Carte Choice May Take Years http://investment-blog.net/satellite-radios-a-la-carte-choice-may-take-years/ Investment is an art. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand how to pick stocks. In fact, think of yourself as a fine artist.

The techincal aspects are a little more complex than below, but here it goes anyway: Content is transmitted from ground stations to satellite constellations, then retransmitted towards the Earth for the receivers to play. Seems like a pretty simple concept simlar to celestial stations. (only with wireless transmission to a reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaly tall antenna) Receiving signals from both groups of satellites looks moot at this point since XM content can feasibly be transmitted to the Sirius satellites for distribution and vice versa. Whether or not it happens that way remains to be seen. Disclosure: SIRI - Long For most listeners this should to be a non-issue.
