XM Radio Hacked by Car Computer Hobbyists

Posted by michael on from the i-want-my-mtv dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There is an article over at News.com that talks about a small Florida company called Hybrid Mobile Solutions, that hacked XM Radio. They created a cable and software that makes the new XM Commander and XM Direct units work just like an XMPCR. They are in negotiations with TimeTrax to allow recording of XM Radio to MP3's. XMPCR was canned due to this late last month."

    Are you telling me that all the people who record shows either on the VCR, TIVO, or their computer to watch at a different time are stealing?

    Only if you skip past the commercials :-)
