Shortwave vs satellite radio?
 

I never thought id consider paying for radio.... but
lately I've been giving thought to getting rid of TV
completely and canceling cable bill.

Id replace it with satellite radio IF the following:

1. I can buy a device that acts as a portable receiver
and portable DVR to allow me to time shift. And I can
take this device ANYWHERE in the US and keep on my
person if wanted

2. The programming had a LOT of talk shows and audio
stories and documentaries. Old time radio, etc

Can someone one advise if this possible?

Satellite radio and cable TV are both a huge ripoff - you won't catch
me getting caught up in them...

Can I get a short wave receiver that is handheld and
will record any programs for time shifting like the XM
radio device can?

The sangean DRM will be able to do this ...
Out in august 2006 ...
It records on a SD card.
There will be other brands too (like Sony..)

What you wish to do is definitely available with satellite radio.

It's precisely how I use XM.

How you like it so far?

MYFI does this. XM.

Not really. You can only set up 2 recordings. Very crude. Hardly
DVR like.

But as an alternative to terrestrial, especially the AM's and AM
noise here (and much of that content is on XM anyway), I like it.

Can you easily take your XM unit inside the house and
use it and then take it in the car and use it?

I have an XM Roady XT which has a built in FM modulator. I can unplug the
unit and bring it into the house, but since I often leave it on one channel
for long periods of time, I often leave it in the car and the range of the
FM modulator is enough that I just listen to it over the house's radios.

I really like XM, and if you are good/lucky, you can get a year's
subscription for $77.

There's another way of doing it, with an mp3 player and podcasts, such
as the BBC's podcast service. The range of programmes is much wider if
you're prepared to go to the extra bother of converting streaming
audio to mp3. Many stations these days can be listened to via the web.
