XM Radio Pulls PC Hardware

Posted by timothy on from the kill-golden-geese-quickly dept.

Didion Sprague writes "News.com is reporting that XM has decided to "quietly discontinue" the XMPCR -- a tiny USB satellite radio receiver for XM radio. Slashdot readers may remember last week's story about TimeTrax -- homebrewed software that allows XMPCR users to automatically record and tag each song. Now, XMPCR receivers are going for almost $400 on ebay. The RIAA, it should be noted, claims that they weren't "behind the discontinuation of the PCR"."

    I'm curious how much extra the local cable company is making using crap like this.
    I've noticed a much more than usual cut-off of the commercials in the past year or so. It's only a second or two per commercial but over the course of the day that's god knows how many more ad spots they can run and how many companies get shorted on their ad dollars.
