XM Satellite Radio

I was at Compusa with my brother this weekend.  He needed to buy something for a computer he got from work.  I wasn't planning on buying anything.  But as I walked by an endcap I saw it was advertising XM satellite radio.  It was all the hardware you needed to install so you could subscribe to the programmnig.    The way this works is you buy the hardware, a receiver to attach to your radio, an antenna and all the wiring.  Than you have to pay a monthly fee to the radio, XM or Siruis and you get the progamming.   I've thought of buying one, I've got some friends that swear by their satellite radio, but everyone outfit I've seen costs at least a hundred dollars or more.  Just more money than I want to spend on one for now.

 

Well this setup was on sale for fifty dollars with a fifty dollar rebate.  Hmmmm, I say.  I stand there and look at it for a few minutes.  Math has never been my strong suit, but even my poor math dumb brian can figure this out...fifty minus fifty equals zero.  Now that is my kind of price. 

 

So I ended up buying it. 

 

And I have to say it, I love it.  No commericals.  And everytype of music you can think of, with a station geared just to it.  A station just for 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, alls sorts.  My favorite station so far is the progressive country station, more of an americana station than anything.  They played the set of the Drive by Truckers from Bonnaroo that I went to this year.  It was awesome.

 

I'm going to try to put a listing of the stations on here after this post.
