We travel across country a LOT, and even at home we have only three stations, one Rap/HipHop, one Country (just the new stuff, whick I don't like) and one 'Golden Oldies' station that plays stuff from the 1980's (?!?!?!) and I never did like Disco!

Our main travelling car has the following: JVC AM/FM/Cassette/12-CD changer and XM satellite radio. The only thing you see is the JVC radio faceplate and the XM receiver.

Our particular model of XM receiver doesn't have wired outputs; we installed an FM modulator and ran the stock car antenna cable through it. When the XM receiver is turned on, it kills the incoming standard radio signals and we hear the XM broadcast instead.

We got the XM car installation kit and the Boom Box to use around the house. This past weekend my wife bought herself an XM MyFi (it's like an MP3 player, it has memory to store several hours of programs) and it comes with a free XM Roady 2.

Although XM isn't totally 'commercial free' as they advertise, it does have very good programming, including a ton of sports channels, talk radio, just about any genre of music you can name, and also local traffic and weather reports for most of the major cities.

I'm not totally thrilled with paying a monthly subscription fee ($12.95 for three radios) I think it's worth the cost just to be able to drive anywhere and not lose your station.
