 Not An Electronic Whiz, 2004-03-25
This is our third XM radio receiver. After enjoying the excellent selection of music, comedy and talk shows on the XM radio that came with my husband's new car, we purchased a home unit and a unit for my car. Set up was a breeze. XM radio customer service was a pleasure. They answered right away and it took less than 10 minutes to complete what we needed to do. The customer service person explained that we needed to make sure that the unit was near a window that had a clear view of the sky so that the stations would set properly in the initial set up. We've never had a problem with any of our units and I really don't miss the commercials on regular radio. I'm listening to Blues, Classic Rock, Classical, BBC, Reggae, Comedy, Jazz and all kinds of things I didn't have much access to before. If a middle aged suburban housewife technophobe like me can set this up and make it work, anybody, and I mean ANYBODY, can.

 This Thing Blows, 2004-03-24
I was very excited to try Satellite Radio but after paying an aftermarket shop $60 to install, I can't get more than 5 stations. The instructions for installation are terrible. The thing sounds great but I can't get more than 5 stations and they are a different 5 stations than the last time I turned it on. Customer service is polite but I've waited a total of 1 hour to talk to someone - obviously offshore. With zero customer or technical support, good luck with this complicated gadget!

 XM Roady Receiver - Very Nice, 2004-03-13
Overall, this is a very nice little receiver. I was suprised at how good it sounded. Using the cassette adapter, the sound quality is far better than the ground-based broadcasts through regular FM radio. The unit has a lot of features for tuning and is easy to use but the buttons and tuning wheel are small and require nimble fingers - a little distracting while driving. The XM programming is great and no commercials! The installation is easy - no tools or special skills required. Although the 20' antenna wire was just barely long enough to route through the back of my SUV and out the rear tail gate window onto the roof - just a few inches to spare. If you have a really large SUV such as a Suburban or Expedition, you may not have enough antenna wire to do a rear roof-mount installation. Overall, definitely worth the [$$$].

Great product, awesome service!, 2004-03-02
This product is great. It's very easy to install and very easy to setup. At first I thought the antenna was too long, however I attached it to my trunk (it's magnetic), ran it through the back seat pass through, under the floormat and driver's chair for an out-of-sight installation. Also the cord organizer really helps in keeping all the cords together and not going everywhere.This is well worth the $115.00 I spent on it.

nice little XM player, 2004-02-26
It is a nice unit and smaller then the SkyFi. It was easy to put in and looks so nice. This is our 4th XM radio and the Roady is our favorite.
