Here is a list of the XM receivers:

I would probably go with the Delphi Roady XT. It is a portable player with an FM transmitter so you can play it on your car or home stereo through the FM radio.

I got XM radio service and get a full terrestrial signal inside my apartment. I get a full satellite signal once I step outside, even without an external antenna on the Delphi MyFi.

i have seen lists, thanks

but this is more like i want personal opinions

I picked up the RoadyXT but then dropped it in favor of the MyFi. The MyFi has the FM transmitter too and comes with everything in the box including a home kit, a car kit, and other stuff (remote etc.). The signal reception is awesome and you can use it like an MP3 player inside your pockets if you're outside, or use the included wearable antenna.

Also, the MyFi can record upto 5 hours of programming the most on XM until now.

I've got the SkyFi2 or something

its silver

its bright at night. Turning down the brightness is a pain in the ass, but where I have it mounted I can barely see it during the day (with sunglasses on) without it turned way up.

I would get whichever of the XM2go players is cheapest. They all are the same internally, so just looks and price should effect your decision.

I am pretty sure I am getting the Tao for Christmas. It has a $50 rebate with a free home/car kit. I definately think that is the best deal.
