Satellite radio users here?

[[email protected]]

I never thought id consider paying for radio.... but
lately I've been giving thought to getting rid of TV
completely and canceling cable bill.

Id replace it with satellite radio IF the following:

1. I can buy a device that acts as a portable receiver
and portable DVR to allow me to time shift. And I can
take this device ANYWHERE in the US and keep on my
person if wanted

2. The programming had a LOT of talk shows and audio
stories and documentaries. Old time radio, etc

Can someone one advise if this possible?

Check out the MYFI or INNO which has recording capabilities.

Dont know if there will be enough talk shows, etc to keep you
entertained 24 hrs a day though.

Why the heck cant I have mobile TV?

cant they make an Pod like device that gets satellite
TV stations and do time shifting? Why the need for big
antennas with sat TV but not sat radio?

I've had XM since it came out. As was said, the new INNO and MyFi can
record content and play back at your leisure. I'm not very familiar with
Sirius as I have never had a subscription and you can only listen to
music channels on the web (same as XM). XM does have one or two channels
dedicated to "Old time radio" including old radio shows from the 40s and
so on. There are a lot of talk, news, and politcal channels, and I've
heard it stretches throughout the entire US and a little way into both
Canada and Mexico so you should be pretty good on that front. My testing
has only been as far North as the southern edge of Lake Superior, and
as far south as southern Missouri, but east all the way to Washington
D.C. (where XM is headquartered). I haven't really tried it west of
Iowa. If you're into sports, XM has all the NHL and MLB games, but
Sirius has NFL. XM also has the FIFA World Cup, NASCAR and Indy car
racing as well as college sports for the ACC, PAC10 and BigTen conferences.

You might want to check out XMRadio.com and Sirius.com and compare for
yourself. Prices are the same. As far as music goes, XM has deeper
playlists so you hear a lot of stuff that you don't usually, and are
doing great in getting more popular music channels going, while Sirius
seems to repeat more popular music a lot more often, more like typical
radio.
