Sirius Sportster 4 SP4-TK1 Satellite Radio

Pros: Cool features

Cons: Quality? Not so much...

The Bottom Line: Can't really recommend THIS model. Hope the Sportster 5 has better quality.

Review: You may seriously question my opinions and taste when I tell you I am a huge Howard Stern fan. Sorry! As such, I became a member of the Sirius Satellite family in January 2007.

My husband set me up with the Sportster Satellite Radio Receiver...

Pros: Design, features, versatility, stations.

Cons: Weak "home" antenna.

The Bottom Line: Everyone should enjoy the ability to listen to CD-quality music and entertainment on the Sportster 4.

Review: If you're like me, you don't like hearing advertisements. They interrupt, they're annoying, and you have probably asked yourself, "I'd pay to not listen to any commercials". Well, XM and its main competitor, Sirius, have filled this niche with...

Pros: the radio looks very nice compared to others

Cons: unreliable, terrible customer service.

The Bottom Line: I do not recommend any sirius products or service, because of the lack of reliability, and lack of customer service.

Review: I purchased this unit and subscribed to Sirius in December and was moderately happy for almost a month. While my radio worked, I noticed a great many "overplayed" songs. The stations tend to play the same 20 or so songs over and over again. Then my...

Pros: Great features (especially memory feature). Ease of use.

Cons: FM transmission too weak to be functional.

Review: I have an older Sirius radio that works great with FM transmission. I bought the Sportster for a new car. The features are great, but the FM transmission is much too weak to be worthwhile. I thought there was something wrong with the radio, and...

Pros: sleek design, preset channels, memory capability, easy to read display, easy installation

Cons: unavailability of parts when they break, has problems detecting the antenna, randomly shuts off

The Bottom Line: I recommend that if you are going to spend 200 dollars that you spend it on a different model that doesn't wear out like this one has for me.

Review: Ahhh radio without commercials...every commuter's dream, right? The concept is absolutely great and I love everything about sirius itself. This receiver? There is good and bad, but first let me give you some general info on features:

The...

Pros: Specialty programming and variety in remote locations

Cons: Monthly fee, hard to see the screen in bright light.

The Bottom Line: Good choice for satellite radio. Pay the extra to have it installed with the FM audio relay equipment.

Review: I purchased this Sirius radio for my husband as a birthday present because he loves to listen to his college football team on the radio. Depending on where we are driving, sometimes the static would drive me insane. I chose Sirius because they...

Pros: Buttons work well, durable product, lights up perfectly. Easy to navigate stations.

Cons: It's not plug and play. Reception is completely unusable with the fm modulator.

Review: First off - the unit is fantastic. Sirius did a good job with it. However, the fm modulator is complete trash. If you do not hard wire your unit to an auxillary port (front or back of your car stereo) it WILL NOT get reception. I roll down the...

Pros: ......................

Cons: ....................

The Bottom Line: Yes, b/c it's sleek looking in the car with the ability to show channel selection, artist and song.

Review: I got this unit back in early Sept 06 when my XM Sky Fi Delphi 2 got stolen at the mall when I parked there to attend a Yankee game. I had bought this off of eBay and had it installed at Circuit City (Middletown NY). They did a good job there with...

Pros: Nice reception at home.

Cons: Terrible reception in car with FM transmitter.

Review: Bought the Sportster primarily for use in car. Installed as recommended by manufacturer and cannot get any reception in car at all. Nothing helps. May have to get hard-wired. Works fine in home system so problem lies in transmitter, even with...

Pros: Artist Seek Alert, Smaller, Stylish Looking

Cons: FM transmitter not integrated and is weak, Car Adaptor sucks, older Sportster is better quality.

The Bottom Line: Sportster 1 is better than the Sportster 4, this doesn't make sense. The FM transmitter is extremely weak.

Review: I have had sirius radio since Howard Stern came over. I have listened to it in my car and at home at least 4 hours per day since I got it. I originally had the original Sportser 1. I was very happy with it, never had any problems, except I wanted to...
