1. My car stereo receives XM, so when I listen at home it's via the web.

I really like the service. I went from Texas to California and back, and never lost the signal except for about 10 seconds under an overpass at a stoplight in Phoenix.

2. thanks!

That is excellent service. I've been listening online for the last few days (free trial) I'm quite impressed by the selection of channels. I'm not sure where I'd find Air America and such .. I think online they just give a sampling of stations.

thanks for your input :)

3. The full lineup is not available online.

Air America and ESPN and XM Xtreme are 3 that I know of that are not online. You get additional music channels though.

You're welcome.

7. The Roady2 XT works great and is very inexpensive.

I had one in my old car . . . the new car came with it built in so the Roady 2 is now unused.

BUT, make sure that he has a place for the antenna at work, you need a window facing in the right direction in which to put the antenna (I think it requires a south facing window, I'm not sure).
