XM radio reception is nilThe web is glacial cannot even use SKYPEForget downloadsForget streaming music, bandwidth is measured with a sundialIs it possible to buy say 3.0 Gb of 60's - 70's - 80's music on a chip for less than what a new Honda Accord costs? No TV satellite, one local station that plays primarily Mexican hip-hop and I'm going nuts. Any ideas that do not involve using the WiFi or mail or FedEx or UPS, or DHL?

Talk about being up the creek with no paddle... Probably lots of CDs available with those popular years of music from local Walmart... You may have to wait until your next supply trip to San Diego again... I still got photos here somewhere on one of your supply runs up north...Way back in the day we used to listen to XERF Del Rio Texas for our music... It had its facilities on the American Side and a 250KW Am transmitter on the Mexican side of the border... Probably been blowed up by now haha...I listen to WILLYSROADHOUSE on PANDORA RADIO all the time on the internet ALL FREE...WILLYS ROADHOUSEPANDORA is also a free APP on our cellphone...Roy Ken

I couldn't receive it during the daytime even on my sensitive short-wave radio.The 50s were a GREAT time to grow up!Tim

Are you buying the cheapest possible internet service you can, or is it just all bad?

Years ago I ripped all my CDs to a MacBook Air for a music server, then I synched that to an iPod Classic. Two Soundmatter FoxL V2s and a FoxLO brings it all home in high fidelity.You would think there would be a service that would populate a 160GB iPod classic with 1000's of hours legal music for far less than the cost of a new Honda Accord.

Is your radio bad? XM radio coverage goes clear down to Nicaragua. TV Satellite reception should be available, too ... depending on your service selections. Are you parked under a mountain?!! Otherwise, Perhaps you should do as 2OLDMAN suggested and just get out of Mexico, then. ;)
