Direct Xm working as a XMPCR!!

I don't know what is the point of saying so, if he cares about his relation with XM, I would assume that he has contacted them already. Grand PS.

XM411 is run by XM, for the most part (the important parts), so no doubt it will get killed if XM doesnt like it. But it does mean its 100% doable

Well all that was crying was a waste of time... Someone else just posted a link for a working cable you can order today.

Someone should just buy one and then sniff the protocol so we can make our own cheaper!

Does anyone have one of these in the LA area? I'd love to check one of these out.

The $109.00 USB Direct cable is not available yet. You can only get on the mail list at this time.

xm to me sux anyways signal sux half the times. no need to spend $109.

I'm talking about the XM Direct, not the USB adaptor (which might as well be vaporware anyhow as far as anyone's concerned). Chances are (if it is working), his $109 solution is a $10 solution at Fry's, and I predict $109 will quickly deflate to about $20 once someone gets a chance to pop the little sucker open.

Where do you mount your antenna? I live in the same city as you and get perfect signal from both satellite 85% of the time and the terrestial repeater 100% of the time.
