    There are some instances where the text gets cut off, but my Roady has a display mode where it will display artist on one line and song title on the next. I leave it on this mode and 99% of the time I'm able to figure out the song even if some of the title gets clipped. I can always throw it...

    I still think that streaming on the internet is a great way to appeal to the informed consumer but, I think word of mouth is the best way for satellite radio to be sought after by the masses. Today my older brother and his girlfriend came over to my parent's house (where I'm still living since...

    Ron, Yeah I did some research and confirmed what you said above, that at best you're gonna get MP3 quality. I guess I'd not be as bummed out if I wasn't used to hearing Radioparadise.com at 128kps which I think sounds better. I haven't hooked up my Roady to my Home theater system yet, but...

    I went with XM and my major complaint isn't the commercials, it's the audio quality. I bought an XM Roady and have it connected to the Line Input on my JVC-LH2000(which is powering some Polk car speakers and is connected to a small powered sub) and I'm using it with a pair of small computer...
