Well - we got the satellite radio hooked up and it is a pretty neato toy. My vote is still out as to whether the initial investment was worth it, but we are really enjoying the jazz stations (Beyond Jazz) as Austin doesn't have a jazz station. Oh wait we do, but I don't like it, too elevator sounding. Also reggae is great, world music, etc. Had to call the people to help and they were nice and knowledgeable. -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Paul Anderson Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2004 7:49 PM To: The moon: beautiful.

I should have thought to ask y'all this a couple weeks ago, but I'm wondering your experiences with satellite radio. I'm getting my husband the Delphi for Valentines (I know it's late, I took him shopping early but we were so overwhelmed we decided to sleep on it and go back after we educated ourselves better). I've read a variety of reviews and people seem to like it a lot, except that every damn piece of wire or box or antenna is sold separately... I've seen a few "complete" packages, but they look kind of cheesy compared to the way the Delphi looks. There's another one that says it can play on "any" FM radio, but it is designed for cars and doesn't have a home kit... Do you have any input?
I just got an XM Delphi Roady for the car and love it, although I've heard no Yello on it yet. There are three wires coming from it that go right back into the dashboard that can be removed if I wanted to bring it in the house. There is apparently a home station available for it for free, available starting now I believe. I think the reason there aren't complete packages is that everyone's needs are different. Since I didn't want to replace my entire AM/FM tuner, and don't have a cassette deck in the car, I got the one that broadcasts on 87.9 FM. You will be so amazed by the selection of music you will wonder how you ever got along with just AM, FM and your personal music collection.
