Satellite Receiver Reviews

Owned the original SkyFi receiver for 3 years, then it quit powering up in May, 2006. Since then, we are on our 5th SkyFi2 receiver, having had problems with ALL of them. We love the XM service, but these second generation radios seem to have major...

Despite all the bad points above I find it a very useful device that is far better than a vcr and if the obvious bugs were fixed would be brilliant.

No way were we thinking that a pair of sub-$25 headphones would sound decent, let alone good. But the ultra affordable TW200 do. Not audiophile quality, mind you, but sonorous enough for daily listening.

Great little (and I do mean little) device, its breathed a new lease of life into a 7 year old 19" Acer LED monitor. I wouldn't expect much from the supplied aerial unless you live under a transmitter but, once hooked up to an outside aerial it picked...

So what can I say about it? If you are planning to buy it keep in mind that out of the box it will not work properly as the firmware has bugs, bugs like not being able to switch between satellites if you have 2. So to fix those bugs you will need to...

Easy to use, however the user manual is probably not helpful to a novice. If used with a Smart tv, you need to make sure the tv does Not switch off after four hours, otherwise the receiver will not save data, and will need to be setup again.

OK, this is a grounding block, not a moon-rocket, so not much to be said. Good: It works Bad: Why in heavens name do they make the ground wire hole big enough for a 6 gauge wire and then have too few threads to allow you to tighten the setscrew?! I had...

This product was good value for money, and arrived on time with no hassles. There was no hidden costs and overall I am more than satisfied.

Works very well if you have a good antenna. The user interface is a bit dated in appearance though which makes it look a bit cheap. I also found the USB dock does play back video files but I could not get sound from the files. This was not too...

Does the job but disappointed there is no RF amplification. Maybe my fault that I didn't read the product description more thoroughly, but unity gain is a bit of a disappointment and to correct the problem I had to install a small RF pre-amp between...

I thought I would struggle to get an irdeto II product to work with my viewing card, but this did. Fast delivery. I would have liked a bit more user friendly manual with regards to the features and settings.

I've had this for just over a year now. Warning: The sales assistant told me "we've sold plenty of these", so I asked if any had been returned "to which he replied "none". I unpack it only to find a slip stating if faulty do not return to retailer,...
