XM Radio
« on: February 07, 2003, 02:58:00 pm »
anyone else have XM Radio? I've had it for a couple of months now...and I must say....it kicks ass.  (I have the delphi skyfi unit, so i take it in my car, home and to the office).  I mean, right now, I just listened to The Rentals, Johnny Cash, Concrete Blonde, Nitzer Ebb, and Skinny Puppy....it's well worth the $10 / month fee for it.. Fred (classic alternative) and XMU (indie / college rock)are filled with great music. Most of the DJ's are pretty cool too.<BR>

It's a shame more people don't get it! Commercial radio as you know it will only get worse! Have is the unit you bought?? Easy to use in all 3 places or did you have to get extra adapters??

yeah, I had to get extra adapters..but that was okay cuz I got in on a deal (before they wised up and pulled it, heh) so I got each adapter for $20, plus the unit for $70.  It's very easy to use in all three places..just remove it from the cradle and take it into my car and put it in the car cradel.  They even came out with a boombox for it...i don't have that version though.<BR>

If you see "the deal" pop up again......I'm sure you get e-mails and such from XM now that you're a subscriber.....give me a shout....I know of at least 4 people who would jump on that!

if i actually spent time at home and wasn't perpetually at work or in meetings, i would so sign up for xm. but, between work, and no car, it wouldn't get much use. <P>washington post magazine, about 3 weeks ago, had an article on xm radio.
