They did, but you can still activate/reactivate an XM PCR unit if necessary.

It is, as far as I know, the most accessible satellite radio unit, and if I
can find one cheap enough, I might just get myself an extra unit on Ebay,
sometime. . I like being able to know what's playing when I'm not online,
and since I'm still on dial up, by the time I get online to look at:

www.xm411.comm

the song has changed. But, that site does work very well for me.

If I remember right, they discontinued the XMPCR about a year and a half ago
because of some software some guy created which allowed users to set the
XMPCR to not only record songs/programs from XM as individual MP3's, but to
tag them with ID3 tags as well.  The creator mainly did this for the
concerts that used to air on XM Live, but the RIAA freaked out because they
figured this would lead to more music being available for file-sharing and
felt XM wasn't doing enough to protect copyrights and such.

For those who want to see what's playing though, go to www.xm411.com.  The
MacroMedia Flash movie thing seems to be mostly accessible.  I've used it
successfully.

On a sidenote, as an XM subscriber, I've suggested that they do like the DMX
Music service that was on my digital cable used to do...If you clicked on a
channel, it'd show a list of the last ten songs that had played on that
channel.  Since then, Comcast has switched to Music Choice, whose site, last
time I checked, is pretty uninformative.  For those who ARE XM subscribers,
I made my suggestion of showing the last ten songs on each channel to the
head of music programming, Jon Zellner...Very cool guy.  If you're an XM
subscriber who uses a screenreader and would like to see this, either use
the contact links at xmradio.com, or email Mr. Zellner at

One thing to consider before buying one is if you can activate it
now.  This may not be a problem at aall but something worth checking
on.  I enjoy mine.  It is the best designed digital radio for us if
it is satellite or any other of digital radio.  They won't make the
others where we can see what song is playing.
