Sirius is not serious about their Sportster Satellite Radio

bycntaur5 Mar 22, 2006
87 Helpfuls 88 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros It works when it works! Easy to use & operate.
Cons Gets hot and eventually stopped working.
Recommended it? No

Okay, this is kind of embarrassing, but I have a serious question to ask you. Can I borrow $135.00? I know that we really don't know each other too well, but extreme measures must be put into motion as SIRIUS has forced my hand. When it comes to listening to good music, I always thought I was on...

Sirius or XM?

Both provide excellent coverage coast to coast & Mexico to Northern Canada.

XM has more repeaters & stationary satellites which means antenna placement is not a big issue.

Sirius has moving satellites which requires your antenna have an unobstructed view... Read full review »

Pros 100+ stations, compact size, Display screen, 30 presets, good price (on sale)
Cons Can be aggravating to install and find good reception, pricey if not on sale
Recommended it? Yes

I got the Sirius Sportster (SP-R1 model) with the car kit and boombox for Christmas. Although this was my Christmas present, my husband took me along to Radio Shack to pick out the radio I liked. I ultimately chose the Sportster model, without the Replay feature, for two reasons: one, I liked the... Read full review »

Don't get this radio

byempion Jun 22, 2006
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Big screen. Easy to read most of the time. Long range of frequencies on transmitter.
Cons Died after the warranty was up without warning. Sticky stuff wore off after 2 weeks.
Recommended it? No

I bought my radio 14 months and 1 day ago, hooked it up and things ran fine. I had noticed that the radio would get very hot, but I thought it was just built that way. I've never used a satellite radio before, so I figure that's normal.

I have been using this radio up until 4 days ago... Read full review »

Pros 30 presets, remote included
Cons Price, variety of looks
Recommended it? Yes

I bought Sirius for work since I do a lot of driving. I was recommended this particular radio by a friend who owns the same one. It's an average radio, definitely on the pricey side.

Pros:

- Buttons are easy to find (they light up in the dark) and it's easy to navigate around... Read full review »

Sirius SPR1 Sportster Satellite Radio Receiver

Get in the game and join the future with the plug-and-play Sirius SPR1 Sportster satellite radio receiver. In addition to all of the capabilities Sirius receivers are known for, the Sportster maximizes the listening experience of Sirius' broad sports lineup. Just like other Sirius- compatible receivers, the SPR1 decodes the incoming Sirius digital-quality radio program information from more than 120 music, news, and sports channels and delivers an audio signal to your radio or other audio output equipment. It's easily transportable and, with the use of Sportster kits, enables you to listen to satellite radio programs at home, in your car, or during the backyard barbeque. An easy-to-read, 6-line display tells you the channel name and number, category, artist name, song title, and time simultaneously. To suit your environment, you can control the contrast, dimming, and color (amber or green) of the display. Program up to 30 presets of your favorite streams, as well as search by stream, artist name, song title, or category. With the touch of a button you can switch between the traffic and weather reports for your city and any of the other music, news, or entertainment channels. Enter up to 20 of your favorite songs, and the receiver will alert you when they are playing on any of the music channels. Listing and search options let you search by channel name, artist name, song title, category, and presets to find your favorite programming. Time functions include an onscreen clock, alarm, and sleep timer, as well as a program alert that allows the unit to switch to a preprogrammed stream at a selected time. A full-function remote control lets you select channels, browse categories, or change display settings quickly and easily. The Sportster earns its name because it has enhanced features specifically designed for sports lovers. The Game Alert feature prompts you when your favorite NFL or other sports teams are playing on Sirius. The Game Zone lists all of the play-by-play games and scores on Sirius by league (MLB, NFL, NHL, etc.). And what sports fan could do without the Sportster's personalized team logo startup and shutdown screen? The Sportster has a built-in FM transmitter that allows the music received by the unit to be transmitted to a nearby FM tuner. Simply set the frequency from which you would like the Sportster to transmit and tune to that station frequency on your conventional radio. Now you've got satellite radio playing anywhere! Note that the Sportster must be used with one of the following adapter kits: Sirius SPB1 Sportster boombox Sirius SPC1 Sporster car kit Sirius SPH1 Sportster home kit Sirius satellite radio is a subscription service that provides more than 120 channels of programming, from digital-quality music to news, talk, and sports. It is available only in the lower 48 states--not in Alaska, Hawaii, or U.S. territories. What's in the Box Sportster SPR1 satellite radio receiver, remote control, user's manual.
