These satellites become media that transmit and bounce back the signal to the XM satellite radio receiver in the ground. A standby satellite that can readily be launched once either of the two satellites fails or malfunctions is reserved.

This receiver is purposely programmed to unscramble a number of digital data signals that contains over one hundred different radio channels of digital audio. The signal also includes some relevant information that concerns the broadcastings such as the title of the song, artist and genre. These pertinent pieces of information are displayed on the subscriber’s radio.
