Only few of us know that XM company was originally founded in 1988 as the American Mobile Radio Corporation. It provides pay-for-service radio and cable television.

For those of you who didn't know, its service included 73 different music channels, 39 news, sports, talk and entertainment channels, 21 regional traffic and weather channels and 23 play-by-play sports channels. Pretty impressive huh?

After the original satellite service was launched in 2001, the company announced a couple of new satellite radios available on the market. The new comers are called XpressR and XpressEZ, and offer the user the possibility to have access to 170 new channels via satellite for sports, new and music, as they are always going to be on the people's priority list.

Moreover, the company holds the important distinction of being the first to launch the split screen display car music items. From the user's point of view, the XpressR's splint screens are great as they let the user see up to six different XM channels. They are capable of splitting up into two sections, revealing the current channel on the left side and other major five channels on the right side.

The owner can choose to view by channel name, song, artist or title. The player comes with included remote controls, to make the listening experience even more enjoyable.

The remote lets you pause/ replay or jump to your favorite channel, fast and easy. It even gets the user alerted when his/her favorite song is on. How cool is that?

The other item, the XpressEZ, is a lightweight and compact radio receiver, which features a bright 3-line display for showing just about everything you need to know about your favorite song. If I offered you enough juicy detail, all you have to do next is save up 130 bucks to buy your precious car a present!
