Slashdot Mirror


XM Radio Pulls PC Hardware

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"."

    Shouldn't there be a number of comments in there somewhere, considering there's about 30 of them so far? Looks like I have another conspiracy theory about editors trying to get people modded down, instead of the "25" "35" debacle, it's about confusing people trying to get the frosty pist.

    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.
