High List Members, I have to make this quick because my bus is on the way to pick me up for work. But however, I too have a question about satellite radio. I'm wanting to get an XM receiver that's made primarily for home use. Someone at XM suggested to me the Polk Audio receiver. >From what I'm told, it has an on screen display. But it has to be hooked up to your TV set in order to see the on screen menus. I am also told that it comes with a remote control. Does anyone know anything about these kind of receivers? If so, how is one of these receivers setup or modified to be user friendly for a blind person? Thanks in advance.
