Just went on Best Buy site

I've just bought for pickup one of those satelite boom box units for my XM receiver. I can't lug the whole thing into work and steaming audio sucks on my current work system.

3. I pay 9.99 for the monthly service

I also paid about $170 to buy the hardware (receiver and home kit hookup). The piece I bought today is just another hookup a portable boombox for the receiver so I can take my Franken anywhere. You can also buy a hookup for the car. You can use one receiver ($99) for all three but the hookups are separate.

I was actually quite happy with the service before the Air America thing. They have some really great radio stations that I listen to all the time for music at home. Every kind of music is represented, plus they have BBC.

Now with Air America it's a must!
