Satalite radio is one of the newer digital broadcasting mediums in
existance, however it is not very widely used just yet. Like the name
suggest they make use of a network of geostationary satelites (like Sky
TV) to beam in programs which are then recieved by a specially equipped
radio, including a very small satalite reciever dish. Most services are
subscription based and I think mainly aimed at North America and
therefore I am not sure those like the BBC are on there. I have not
personally come accross satalite radio so we need somebodyon the list
who has used it or has some more knowledge.
