Sirius, Microsoft to beam TV to your car

Need lots of distractions to quell those raucous kids fidgeting in the back seat of your minivan on the way to Grandma's house? Well, there may be some help on the horizon, now that Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. says it will add video transmissions to its U.S. pay-radio system in 2006. In another splash of technology convergence that is seeing the boundaries melt between all forms of electronic communications, Sirius said yesterday that in the second half of 2006 it will add two or three channels of video content to the lineup of about 120 channels of digital music, talk and information that it already beams by satellite to more than one million subscribers in the United States.
