Listening to satellite radio
The SiriusXM™ satellite system consists of a
number of high elevation satellites in geosyn-
chronous orbit.

satellites are line-of-sight, which
means that physical obstructions such
as bridges, tunnels, etc, may tempo-
rarily interfere with signal reception.

may impede signals from the Sir-
