XM PCR, we hardly knew ye

XM PCR

Well, it was a short run. Rather than allow their subscribers to get away with something as heinous as recording the satellite radio streams they're paying for, it appears that some of XM's retail channels are pulling the XM PCR, that PC satellite radio tuner which when combined with the Time Trax application can record satellite music streams into a tidy little MP3 library, off the shelves. Apparently XM is probably going to pursue legal actions against Time Trax, but in the meantime if you want one of these babies, you better get it while the gettin's good—the $50 XM PCR is reportedly now going for upwards of $350 on eBay.
