[Martini Tony]

i cant find any info on the xm-pcr on the xm website and even at pcconnection.com i cant find anything either. are they still supporting it or did they recall it or somthing??? im interested in getting xm but i dont want the boombox or anything for it, it would just be convinient for me just to hook it up to my laptop and listen that way.

The XM PCR was discontinued by XM last month, Its replacement is the internet streaming option that Seth posted above.

If your bent on getting a PCR, try ebay, it'll be expensive though.

If you search wackbag's xm radio forum, you will find a lot of discussion about this. You can also check out www.xm411.com

I knew I was wrong. What is PCR?

[Hoagie]

The PCR is a piece of hardware that connects to your computer and an antenna. Instead of being an entire radio, it was pretty much just a signal decoder that used your computer for the rest of the functions of a radio and it didn't require an internet connection. It was the cheapest sattelite radio receiver available.

Is there any other way to hook up xm through my laptop without streaming it????

I love the PCR..the software shows whats on every channel, updated in real time..and the reception is crystal clear. I hope it never breaks.

If mine breaks. I will cry. Nothing compares to being able to see everything playing. The jukebox feature that comes with XtreMe PCR is also the shit.

Yeah its a nice unit. I have it and a roadie2 for the car. I might be putting my PCR up soon for sale, I would rather sell it at a way cheaper than ebay to a fellow wackbagger though.

I like the XtreMe Pcr software..but it's more web based..and sometimes intereferes. I like the way the PCR software is never affected when you're burning CDs etc..

I bought a second pc off of a local classifieds newsgroup so I could have a machine dedicated to conroling the PCR. I hooked up a KVM hooked to both machines so I can switch to the other machine to change the channel if I am playing a game.

That rocks!

There are some websites that have pcr hacks to use whatever reciever you've got with the computer... don't know about what software it uses though.

PCR's are back for a limited time -- thought I'd let everyone know :)
