Well, main thing I want XM for is the NASCAR channel/s and if there's old
time radio I'd probably listen to that too, I don't believe in weather
forecasts at all so I could do with out weather channels at all, too bad the
cable company won't listen to me on that one, but I'll definitely keep it in
mind. I'll probably try it out and see what I think, a question though what
equipment did you get? Was it the equipment offer you sent me the link to?
maybe I'll try something else in that department, it's not as cheap but the
XM site has a lot of stuff there, maybe I'll add to my Sony collection.
