Most sirius satellite tv systems make use of digital television signals. There are several associated advantages to using these signals over analog. First, quite a lot of data could be sent in one transmission, which means one satellite sending one signal could be beaming down a few hundred channels to the receiver, whereas in analog systems, only one channel would be sent. Next, there is no deterioration in data quality as is quite evident in analog transmissions. Hence, sirius satellite tv will not suffer nearly as much from signal distortion, such as what we see in analog television broadcasts.
