Delphi MyFi and SKYFi Satellite Radio Receivers

Satellite radio is an increasingly popular alternative to regular radio. With satellite radio, you pay a certain subscription fee each month (about $ 15 or so) to get around 100 music channels streamed by satellite. The subscription cost mainly pays for the lack of commercials, which is a major plus for most listeners.

To take advantage of satellite radio, you will need a satellite radio receiver. There are several types of receivers available and some of the most popular models are produced by Delphi. Its two most popular models are the MyFi and SKYFi line. The MyFi satellite receiver is slightly smaller and is considered the most portable. This device is designed to be taken anywhere, just like an mp3 player like the Apple iPod. The SKYFi is your standard satellite receiver unit and is commonly installed in cars, boats, and the home using different accessory kits. You will find more information on these two units below.
