The unit is very easy to install, and works like a charm. I ordered this item so that I could take my Sirius out into my garage with me. I would highly recommend this item to anyone thinking about buying one.
We even called Sirius and were told they were out of stock and we were out of luck.I was so thrilled to see this Sirius SIR-STRH1 Streamer home docking kit at Amazon, and ordered it for my husband for Christmas this year. We put the antenna on top of a bookcase in the middle of the apartment, it's not even near a window.
We hooked it up and it works wonderfully. We live in Southern California in a top-floor apartment.
Last year I purchased the Sirius Sportster Replay, Model Number SP-TK2, for my husband for Christmas. We aimed it up through the ceiling towards the northeast and it's picking up a strong signal, and our Sirius radio is working beautifully in our home now.
It came with the car kit. We were both quite disappointed when shortly after the holidays, we tried to purchase the home docking kit for that radio and had absolutely no luck finding one anywhere.
We're very happy with this product.So if you have an older model of the Sirius Sportster that fits into the SP-C2 docking station, then it fits perfectly into this home docking kit.
My Sirius radio (bought in DECEMBER 06, was shortly after discontinued and the new home docking kits for newer units would not work. (I didn't open and use it until JUNE of 07).This item came BRAND new, fully sealed with all parts, including one that should have been included with my radio.an antenna for the FM modulator. I was upset that Sirius changed the connectors on the newer units that forced those of us who bought the "older" style to have to upgrade. It works beautifully and now I can bring my Sirius sportster inside, and still listen to Satellite radio on my Home Theatre setup.Thank you Amazon and thank the seller who had this at a reasonable price.
A great way to enjoy satellite radio in the comfort of home.
Also, the least movement of the connecting cord or if someone moved a blind/curtain, this would disturb the exact positioning required to make this antenna function properly.In the end I returned this unit and got an extra car antenna (the one with the strong magnet); this allowed me to put an extension cord under the window sill to the outside. From here, I was able to easily find a site for the magnetic antenna that resulted in excellent satellite reception (exact positioning is not nearly as important for the magnet antenna). I was unable to get a consistent, satisfactory signal with this unit because of the antenna; the rest of the unit worked fine.I found that unless you had perfect exposure to the satellite that this antenna did not receive the signal very well. Since then my home unit has worked perfectly.
