Eton E1 XM Radio....price ideas ??? satellite service for.....
Any idea what the Eton E1 XM radio is going to sell for when it hits the
market ??? Also... How exactly does satellite service for portable radio work ??? Is there a release code that you punch up into the radio once you've paid for the service or a card with an electronic code on it that you stick into the radio someplace ??? -- Respectfully, Michael Location: New Jersey Primary Receiver: R-75 with full Kiwa mods Antennas: G5RV, 200ft "Frankenstein" roof wire Additional Radios: KA-1101,KA-1102,PL-550, KA-989, Info-Mate 837, GE-SR III Westinghouse H-104 (seven tube) Web Site: http://md_dxing.tripod.com |

If they are anything like the satellite radios they sell here in Korea, they are addressable, like a cable box. You give them the serial number or MAC number off the receiver and they enable it over the satellite. |

The radio has a unique serial number so it can be programmed over the air. When purchased new, an XM receiver can only get a "preview" channel and one sample channel from each category (e.g. country, rock, talk radio, etc). When you subscribe, you furnish your radio's serial number and leave it running for a while. The remaining channels are enabled and then you have full service for as long as you subscribe. |

It doesn't take 10 years to produce a radio, folks. Meaning it will never be available ??? Michael |

Do you know how many times it's "release" has been announced, only to be "delayed" another quarter or 2? What makes you think that this time, it's *really* coming? Meaning that the phrase "when it's released" should not be used when referring to this radio. "If it's ever released" is more accurate. Meaning that by the time it's "nearing release", there will be another new radio technology that will need to be incorporated into this "everything including the kitchen sink" radio - like DRM. So it will need to be "delayed" again. Lather, rinse, repeat. Let me guess... You want one too ??? Michael |
