Delphi XM Signal RepeaterAwesome. Finally we have a way to rebroadcast XM Satellite Radio wirelessly to multiple receivers. The new XM Signal Repeater by Delphi. With the Delphi XM Signal Repeater, you’re now able to wirelessly rebroadcast the XM signal throughout your house without needing to use separate antennas or long antenna extensions. Very nice.

The Delphi XM Signal Repeater includes both a transmitter and a repeater antenna. The transmitter relays the signal from any home antenna up to 75 feet (supposedly through walls and floors) to one or more repeater antennas. The repeater antennas gets plugged into your XM radio unit and converts the signal just like the home antenna.

For a cost of about $169 for the main Delphi XM Signal Repeater, and additional repeater antennas at $69 each it’s not a bad deal considering the hassle it saves.

UPDATE: One note because a few people have been asking me this. This does NOT broadcast the Satellite signal itself to other antennas. It simply receives the Satellite signal and converts it so it can be read by the repeater antennas. Just want to clarify that.
