    Nils Lofgren 2/24/05 XM Performance Theater

    Nils was in a band called Grin prior to going solo and one of the best albums they had was 1+1. There is a Best of Grin as well. Both can be found on CD. The top solo albums '70's-'80's, in addition to the one you own, IMO are Cry Tough, Night Fades Away, Wonderland and Flip. Going into...

    Breaking News: XM to raise rates but include extras for subscribers

    I use XM as much as I can and to now be able to use XM online at work is great as I'm in an area where there is no windows. I tried hooking my boombox with no luck. The Washington Nationals announced their radio deal and where I live in Loudoun County, I can't pick up either station very...

    Going to XM's Performance Theater

    I felt bad for the lady who had to keep track of us as a bunch of us kept drifting away of where we were supposed to be after we were told to wait until they finished the sound check. I'm wandering over to the baseball area listening to Phil Wood, others were straying all over the place. There...

    XM Radio - Newbie questions about signal strength

    Ron, I kept reading this forum for a long time and it's been very helpful. I got XM as a birthday/Christmas gift. I knew what I wanted as a result of the members here and the reviews I read about XM. Next up is a new theater system for our basement rec. room. Thanks for this site, it's...

    XM Radio - Newbie questions about signal strength

    New Sky Fi 2 user here--I've got my antenna inside my car for now (near the third brake light) and I get an occasional three to five second drop out from Sterling VA to Bethesda MD. Nothing too inconvenient for me considering I am no longer flipping back and forth the FM dial trying to avoid...

    Considering XM/Sirius - Concerned About Sound Quality

    I have a Sky Fi 2 and I did a basic set up in my car with the antenna inside near the third brake light (2001 Honda Civic EX) and I'm happy with the sound. I may move the antenna outside at some point. I took a drive to Virginia Beach with my wife for Christmas and experienced a couple fade outs...

    New XM upgrades worth your consideration: Polk XRT12 and SkyFi2

    I just got a Sky Fi 2 receiver, a home and car kit and a boom box and I can't stop listening to it. Ron's tip works great. I got another tip from another site and I hope it's ok to pass along. Advanced display menu on the Delphi XM receivers. This menu shows a more exact signal quality...

    Just got an XM Roady

    I'm looking to buy a roady but don't have a cassette deck in my car, just a AM/FM radio and CD player. Looks like they are coming out with an audio adapter in the future. Can this be installed by oneself or should I have someone at the store do it? Thanks. Bill

    BOSE Wave Radio-CD player

    My wife and I are looking for something that doesn't take a lot of space to put in our living room and the bedroom as well. I used Bose to start because we have one at work and it sounds great in our lobby. There are better and cheaper alternatives and I appreciate the replies and...

    BOSE Wave Radio-CD player

    I looked for a topic about this here and can't find anything at Consumer Reports. So has anyone had experiences with one of these? We have one in our office and it sounds great but at $500 for a CD/radio is rather steep if you ask me. Thanks.
