If a relocation to Darwin is in your future, this could be just the ticket:
Worldspace AsiaStar Coverage Map
They share a couple of programming channels with XM.
About reception: For once living near DC has been a good thing - repeaters all over the place here. I vacuumed my apartment while listening to the MyFi on my belt and didn't get a single drop-out.
It will record five hours of programming (some people are getting much more - depends on the bit rate of the particular channel). Recording is either on a pre-programmed sked or by a manual button push.
So, you can drop it in the home cradle, hit "record" on your favorite channel, and go to bed. In the morning you'll have charged batteries and 5+ hours of music in the bank that you can play back if you're in an area you can't get reception.
Cobb: I like the FM modulator in the parked car trick. That's pretty cool - a roving, public access FM translator /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I use the MyFi's built-in FM modulator in my apartment, rather than a line in to my stereo. That allows me to listen to XM on the various FM radios scattered about the place.
For the car, I'm using a line input to the stereo.
Once you get hooked on satellite radio, you will do some crazy things to get your fix.
Cheers,
Bob
