I found an awesome deal for an XM Roady 2 receiver. It's only $19.99 with no taxes and free shipping. It was just recently selling for $100 so this is a great deal.

Just go to
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=150626&_LOC=US

and add the code "N49YCXEG4" to your cart to reduce it to $19.99. This could end at anytime so if you plan on buying one, I suggest you do it quick.

Has anyone dealt with this website before? Also, does anyone know how much shipping is, and how long this deal is good for?

$50 is a good price for the Roady2, but $20 is a steal and a half...

is the XM service worth 12 bucks a month? I would mainly use it for sports channels. Also how hard is it to move the receiver to multiple cars, and is it hard to bring the receiver indoors?

It's well worth $12 a month, and it gives you XM Online for free.

Isn't difficult at all to move to multiple cars or inside with the Roady2:

1. Place antenna on top of vehicle (works with a really strong magnet and holds well, yet is easy to move when you are ready to move it... which is great).

2. Run antenna cable into vehicle.

3. Plug antenna cable into Roady2, and plug power cable into cigarette lighter.

Easy as pie and takes less than a minute. :)

It contains an entire car kit in the package. Cigarette lighter power cord... cassette deck adaptor... antenna... everything. If you don't have a cassette deck, you can hook this up via direct audio connection (if your stereo has one) or through excellent-quality wireless FM.

I don't drive around in the car much, just to and from work/school mainly. Would this be worth getting still? I might grab it for $20 and just hold onto it until I can find a home kit some place cheap.

Sweet, I hope it comes fast for you. I am really enjoying mine. Now I just need to get a home kit with the remote. I haven't used a rebate with them before, but I don't generally like using rebates. But if I had seen this deal before I ordered mine I would have gone for it too.

Just don't expect a good amount of talk or at least a good amount of Partisan Channels. Personally I picked Sirius because they offer "World Radio Network" and "Public Radio International" exclusively but that's just me. I hate the fact I'm missing Bob Edwards and one other channel XM has though.

I jumped on that deal from ECost back in August. Their service is very reliable, the only thing is that it took 2 1/2 months to get my rebate. Having XM radio is pretty cool to have, especially if you take long trips.

For those who asked about setting it up in the house or at work, here's a tip: the XM Roady doesn't need a docking station like some of the other receivers, just the wiring. The home kit normally costs $40, but I bought the home kit for the discontinued SkyFi 1 on clearance at Sears for $11, and it works perfectly. You just need an open red and white audio outlet to plug into (i.e. your TV, VCR, or DVD player). Mine is hooked up to a PS2 surround sound system (if your TRU still has these green tagged, pick it up!!).

Yes, I know this, but it is a car antenna I believe. I am not sure you'll want to use that in the house. We were given satellite radios for a company xmas gift last year and the antenna is like a huge strong magnet to stick on the outside of your car.

There is also no way to plug it in if you want to bring it inside. You'll have to spend extra and get the home kit it looks like. Probably alot more then the radio.

Sorry to sound negative on this deal, but unless you ONLY want to use this in your car it is not a good deal. Last time I looked (granted it was a while ago) the kits sold by themselves are about $50+.

reason i chose XM over Sirius.. Sirius doesn't have a "punk" station it has a "Punk, hip hop, and rock" station.. I don't want to listen to rap when i want to listen to punk rock. besides George Norey coast to coast AM is on XM.. only think i miss from sirius all the Utah Jazz games.. but those are on my local channel anyways. and for 12 bucks a month you get XM online too (mostly just the music stations) but yeah.. its awesome for me.. i love it. (got the reciever Roady 2 at wal mart for 30)

Almost same reasons I choose Sirius over XM... But I liked that Sirius had a good alt rock and classic alt rock station and Every NFL game. But my wife has XM and likes it better but who cares about that she keeps it on the TOP 40 stations ewwwwwww . Most people I have talked to that took Sirius over XM do because the "genre" stations are much better then on XM as far as staying in the genre. But I do agree with you Faction 28 sucks. I don't know about you guys that have Sirius or XM how many channels do you think you listen to regularly? I would say I have 6.
