Joe came across an even better deal online for a satellite radio receiver via XM radio, so I guess we’ve made our decision on which provider we’re going with (I was already leaning toward them anyway since I liked their content better).
He ordered the Delphi XM Roady2 from ecost.com. After a rebate it will have cost only $12. Sweet! We had toyed with the idea of getting a nicer looking unit or adding the home kit, but decided not to bother. Who gives a crap what it looks like if it works? In addition, I realized you get free access to the channels online, so we don’t need the hookup for the stereo: I have great speakers on my computer.
I think it will serve us well on our drive down to Florida. You really can’t beat that price and I won’t feel guilty if we decide down the line to cancel the subscription.
I had to get Sirius, just for Howard Stern. I know, it’s sad…
