Hello Mimi and others,
I was wondering, what is the XM boombox like? Do you find it easy to use?
What are some things you like about it, and things you don't like about it?
I don't think the boombox will work for me, because of where I live. I
tried the XM PCR and it did not work. I couldn't
How much does the music or spoken material on these channels sound mp3-ed?
I've haven't followed this thread and appologize for asking about something
which may have been already covered.
TIA

Tim,
You mentioned having used Replace PCR or whatever it was called. Just
wondered whether you use JAWS or WindowEyes, since some people have
suggested that JAWS does not read this display as easily.
I'm still not sure whether to go with the PCR or to get the boombocx and the
car adapter kit so
Hi all,
Can someone explain what activeX controls actually are? I ran into a
problem last week which may or may not have been the result of having
installed Spywear Blaster, which apparently disables ActiveX controls unless
you uncheck this option and do it manually. The result was that my
The boombox is a streamlined system with
its own speakers. They cannot be spread
apart, though. But for the sake of
portability it is great. The XM
receiver snaps into the cradle in
between the speakers and you can use the
remote that came with the home kit. In

Great. I use 128 kbps when doing music
programs, and 32 for oldtime radio
shows. All my mp3's from XM programming
sounds great.

Well, it did not work on my system.
Maybe mine is set up much differently,
but I will use the regular software
which came with the pcr.

Gary,
Thanks for that, smile.
Not knowing what your car is like does
not give me an idea. If you do not have
a satellite radio ready car, you can buy
a hub adapter for the XM receiver and
have it installed. I don't know about
the car cigarette lighter; never used
it. But then, I don't have anyone who
drives and I don't know
Hi Jim,
Yes, I'm pretty certain you do. Roger Smith of Louisville did a review of
XM about a year and a haf ago and I feel certain he has tried them both and
could give you an accurate comparison.

That's right! And it took me a while to
find that Volume Control. What a
headache I had last year because Windows
kept insisting it was not installed. I
had to have some help in finding it.

Hi all, I'll put a bid in here, as I've just got a pair of AKGk105's.
They're £30 from Tapesense in the UK. The normal retail is about £60.
They're perfectly good enough for computer use, and aren't too bad for
hifi use, though they're a bit bass light, an advantage me thinks for
speech use.
Oh, well, skip it, it's a matter of
personal preference.

Hi Mimi!
Well, that's all right. I really enjoyed the side by side comparison.
Are the sports networks identical on each? I have heard that the NPR
stuff on Sirious is not that great. Can you talk more about that?
Thanks in advance.

Okay, that makes it a bit clearer. My sighted son is pretty technical so if
