7.1. General Descriptions
CATEGORY
A category is a group of channels having a similar theme or “genre” (for example “ROCK” or “JAZZ”).
There are “at least” 12 categories … each having a maximum of 24 channels.
CHANNEL
A channel can be thought of as a single radio station. You can receive up to 100 channels on your
receiver. The channel NUMBERS assigned to channels can be over 100. Some channel numbers might not
be available for one reason or another. A channel NAME that gets displayed might be something like: “THE
VAULT” or “CLASSIC COUNTRY”.
Sirius assigns channels to categories. Channel numbers may change in the future but the receiver will keep
up with these changes. You might want to periodically re-check the presets. Also, a single channel may be
in multiple categories.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTIVE TEXT
Program Descriptive Text (PDT) data is song (or program) specific textual information that is transmitted to
the receiver and displayed on the CDU. An example of some PDT data for a song might be:
• Artist Name “The Police”
• Song Title “Roxanne”
• Album Name “Every Breath You Take
• Record label “A & M Records”
Generally, most stations will at least contain the artist name and song title information. Additional
information such as album and record label may also be provided.
