Re: XM quality

["Brian Vita" <brian_vita@cssinc.com>]

I've actually wondered if they were going to deal with the 2nd subscription
issue.  The Sony radio is a dockable unit that can be dash mounted (steal
me) in your car or plugged into your home stereo.  I'm not sure how they are
addressing the antenna issue in the home.
