Yeah, on the main XM receiver, which is not on the computer, I have the wire tucked inside the boombox the way you described. On the pcr, it is dropped behind the furniture to avoid tangling.
I activated the Sirius today, so am feeling my way around. As soon as I know enough to say more, I guess I'll hold my comments. Already, I have found the NPR feed and all the music and sampled a little talk and discovered their version of Radio Classics. They play similar programming to XM's Radio Classics, but not the same exact shows at the same time; have not heard between the shows yet, but I will later today. The long wire is under the desk at the moment and the flip part of the antenna is resting on the slide-out shelf of my computer desk as that is where I can place it right now. I have both on and side by side. This is going to be part of my audio setup at the new place, too. Mimi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary G.
