If you are already used to enjoying the 170 commercial-free XM radio channels at home, then you are in the know of just how great satellite radio is! The fact of the matter is that if you do not already have an XM radio by now, you are truly missing out my friends. I am talking about sports channels with exclusive interviews and coverages. Syndicated talk radio shows only found on XM and some awesome comedy channels that provide stand-up comedy, 24/7 so you never get bored on your drive to work, or back home…or wherever!
But once you get accustomed to having satellite radio at your fingertips every time you drive somewhere, you start to notice a dwelling silence once you come back to your home. This is because you realize that you wish that you had an XM home radio. But you just shelled out your cash on getting XM for your car, so how can you cheaply add it to your home? No worries my friends, I have the perfect and very cheapest solution for you!

This kit comes with everything that is necessary so you can plug-and-play satellite radio at home or in the office, on the boat or even over at your buddy’s house. XM radio for home is now more affordable than ever before. This Delphi SkyFi3 is a handy and slick device that has a really nice LCD screen on it and all of the cushy features that you would expect. You can get your hands on this radio for about: $69.95 at selected online retailers.

If you enjoy listening to your XM radio in your car as much as I do, then you already know how much it rocks to have plenty of channels that are all commercial-free to sift through. Once you get used to having all of those dandy XM radio channels to surf, it becomes tiresome to ever listen to ‘normal’ radio again.
Trust me: it’s like going from a full cable package on TV, back to regularly broadcasted TV. The end results are that you are never satisfied with normal radio again once you get a taste of XM satellite radio. So, how do you bring that awesome XM radio into your home without breaking the bank?
No worries, I have found a way to do this for fewer than $60—which is not bad considering how much money that XM radio home kits can cost these days. But if you know where to look, you can easily find some pretty awesome deals on XM radio for the home.
I found this kit, Audiovox XM mini-tuner with home dock, at PowerXM.com for about $55.00. It allows you to play your XM radio on your home XM Ready Receiver, with a simply plug-and-play connection that will allow you to enjoy XM in home, whenever you like. Below are the included features.
Features include:
• CNP2000 XM Satellite Radio Connect-and-Play Digital Mini-tuner
• CNP2000H XM Satellite Radio Connect-and-Play Digital Mini-tuner Home dock
• Audiovox XM Ready Home Antenna
• 20 foot antenna extension
• Protective cover

If you thought that you could not ever possibly afford to have the lofty 170 channels of commercial-free radio that is offered when you sign up for an XM radio subscription, think again! These days nearly everyone can easily afford an XM subscription—they are that affordable. One year XM subscriptions start at just $11.87/Month, which is pretty easy to pocket considering that it amounts to less than forty cents per day.
Buy a two year or a three year XM radio subscription and you will save even more cash. A two year runs about $11.33/Month, and the three year plan starts at about $9.99/Month. Getting your hands on an affordable XM radio is pretty easy to do these days as well.
You can get the Audiovox Xpress EZ XM Radio Receiver for you car—well priced online for about $39.95—at select online retailers only. So now that you can get an XM receiver for about $40 and you know that the subscription will run at most, forty cents per day, it’s the 40-40 challenge.
Forty bucks gets XM radio in your car, and forty cents per day pays for the service!

Of the many reasons why you should start enjoying 100s of channels of commercial-free satellite radio, there are few that easily sit at the top of the pile. Reasons that should cause most people to want to add the many listening benefits of XM radio to their wish list. If you thought you could not afford to get XM satellite radio in your vehicle think again! It’s really gone down in price as the technology has advanced and the XM satellite receivers have become more affordable. But if you were still not convinced, here are three more reasons why the time is ripe to add XM satellite radio to your car.
XM has just recently announced that they will be merging with the other satellite radio giant, SIRIUS. This means that all users will get to enjoy the option to select channel and syndicated radio show from both providers. You will have more choices in content and subscription plans. If you are happy with the current XM Satellite Radio Programming, you can keep the $12.95 plan. If you want both XM and Sirius content, you will have that option too. For only $4.00 extra per month you can pick channels you want from both providers.
XM receivers are super affordable right now. For example, take a look at the Delphi SkyFi3 XM Satellite Radio Receiver – a well priced and fully featured XM radio that offers plenty of awesome features, like storing up to 10 hours of radio shows in the onboard memory, and other features like Artist Watch, where it lets you know when your favorite artists and songs are playing. Well priced at SELECT online retailers for about: $69.95.

Two, twenty dollar bills gets this bad boy into your vehicle and allows you to enjoy those 170 channels of XM bliss while you are on the way to work, or wherever.

XM satellite radio services just keep on getting better and better. That’s right, when this awesome radio service first came out the features were rather bland, sometimes limited in scope by the technology that was available at the time. However, as the future has reared its technology-rich head and allowed the creators of XM satellite radio receivers to better an already great interface, many new XM car radios will offer some pretty hopping features.
Features like Artist Watch—where you can track when your favorite bands and artists are playing, what songs they are playing, and what station that it comes on. The same is true for Show Watch, where you are informed of when your favorite shows are playing, and on what channel.
Some XM receivers are now even synching up with GPS units to provide updated Traffic Watch to ease the burden of that lengthy commute you face each morning. And with on-demand news reports, plenty of talk show radio channels and oh so much more, the future is looking brighter than ever, indeed, for XM satellite radio.
