Terrific Radio

"The best thing about the radio is of course the Sirius service. I can listen to the music without a gazillion commercials, and I'm not limited to the most popular twenty songs."

It's like Tivo for Radio

A great product from Sirius

"This is my second Sirius radio; I "traded up" from a Stratus 4. This thing is amazing. it looks great, has a clear display, and is amazingly easy to use. I love the little remote control; it makes it easier to use even in a car. There are 30 channel...

Lots of presets, Love that you can remember favorite bands/songs and the alerts whenever they are playing.

Make sure you use a direct connection, wish the volume control was easier to find on the item itself

Product Specifications

With a stylish new gun-metal grey finish, the Sportster 5 satellite radio receiver sports a new slim profile while still maintaining the same great features for which the Sportster series is known. Highlights include a large, multicolor, easy-to-read 6-line display, plus a rotary tuning knob for added convenience. The Sportster 5, conveniently transportable between home and car, is easy to use and features Sirius' universal dock for simple installation. Optional universal accessory docking kits and audio systems conveniently allow for use in the home, boat, office, and multiple vehicles. An easy-to-read, six-line, 2.7-inch multi-color display helps keep tabs on the channel name and number, category, artist name, song title, and time simultaneously. The receiver also lets you program up to 30 presets of your favorite streams, as well as search by stream, artist name, song title, or category. And with a quick press of the one-touch jump button, you can instantly switch between traffic and weather reports for your city and any of your preset music, news, or entertainment channels. Other programming details include an S-Seek function that stores your favorite artists and songs and alerts you when one is playing on any of the music channels, direct station tuning via the numeric buttons, and a channel lock option. 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.
