I never thought id consider paying for radio.... but
lately I've been giving thought to getting rid of TV
completely and canceling cable bill.

Id replace it with satellite radio IF the following:

1. I can buy a device that acts as a portable receiver
and portable DVR to allow me to time shift. And I can
take this device ANYWHERE in the US and keep on my
person if wanted

2. The programming had a LOT of talk shows and audio
stories and documentaries. Old time radio, etc

Can someone one advise if this possible?

Satellite radio and cable TV are both a huge ripoff - you won't catch
me getting caught up in them...

Can I get a short wave receiver that is handheld and
will record any programs for time shifting like the XM
radio device can?

The sangean DRM will be able to do this ...
Out in august 2006 ...
It records on a SD card.
There will be other brands too (like Sony..)

A short wave radio with built in audio PVR, right?

MYFI does this. XM.

Oh yeah. XM.



In fact, both XM and Sirius are taking heat for their builtin
recorders.

What you wish to do is definitely available with satellite radio.

It's precisely how I use XM.

Not really. You can only set up 2 recordings. Very crude. Hardly
DVR like.

But as an alternative to terrestrial, especially the AM's and AM
noise here (and much of that content is on XM anyway), I like it.

Can you easily take your XM unit inside the house and
use it and then take it in the car and use it?



With the MyFi, yes.


And do. Every day.


You do need to change antennae, but yes, I take it with me. Home,
car. Or just mowing the lawn.


Now, I'm in a big metro area, so there are terrestrial repeaters to
conver spots where the satellite signal is not reliable. Like
underpasses, and downtown.

But it's little different than carrying a walkman.
