Title: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM!
Review: I have been surprised and dismayed by the XM MyFi. One fairly critical piece of information left out of all materials is the fact that the antenna HAS TO FACE SOUTH IN ORDER TO OBTAIN ANY SIGNAL WHATSOEVER. Thankfully, the happy folks at XM Technical Support offered this encouragement when I noted that my office and home face north -- "You can still use it outside." Thanks. That might still be moderately helpful if the portable XM really worked well. Instead, you have to work into just the right position, like a sad, contorted scarecrow, in order to get a passable signal. Here I am, wired like a demented robot with an earphone cord as well as (another thing they hesitate to mention) antenna cord pinned to me, and if I move (Lord forbid that you move with the music), the signal cracks and disappears.This product was introduced long before XM had the technology to support it. Odd that AM radio (and possibly even ham radio) are starting to look better all the time. Hmmm.
Is the review positive or negative?
