I envy you. I have been gathering up all the XM hardware, and so far have packed away three Roady2s (ok, so I bought two of them for under $10 for the antennas and mounting hardware), a Tao XM2Go, and an Inno. Still operating are my parents’ Audiovox and our three Nexus (Nexii?), all running under the same Passport…er…MiniTuner. Truth is, I don’t listen to the satellite much anymore, and only listen to The Bob Edwards Show on a daily basis. This is down from having an XM radio running 12-16 hours every day.

Man, it had such promise…

In these times, I can't afford to find myself charged more money by surprise. I'm going to start bringing my radio to work, since I don't have as much time as I used to at home to listen. I'm still on my first radio, a Delphi SkyFi. If I don't find it useful at work, where I listen to OTR MP3 CDs (in addition to my Morse code practice with G4FON), I won't have any reason to continue. If I end up cancelling, and they are dumb enough to ask why, I'll point them here... -- Tom I, too, am considering cancelling my subscription.
