battery trouble
Why am I only getting six hours of play (i.e. 1 1/2 Stern shows)
before the batteries give out? Is this a problem anyone else has had?
Whu does the antenna have to be junk?
I was so stoked when I bought this box. I read the manual and it says if in a big city just put the antenna near a window and it should work great. Not. I put it in my Florida room that is screened in and nothing. Acquiring signal. Then I move it to up and even outside and it still won't just stay on. Such a dissapointment because I really like Sirius. I hate their cheap antenna's they give you and notice they sell more expensive ones as well. Should have been in the antenna buisness. Fortune there.?.?.? Hope this blows over. Guess I'm on the roof tomorrow.
A 'first to market' product that is lacking basic features
Pros:
1. Great sound (however, very heavy bass when listening to talk channels.)
2. Ease of use
3. Detachable antenna works great
4. Can run your MP3 player into it
Cons:
1. No FM tuner
2. No bass/treble controls (very heavy on the bass side - you have no control over it.)
3. No visual volume indications (you don't know what level the volume is at.)
4. Missing 3 VERY basic features that would have been very easy to implement on this boombox.
If you have Sirius service and want a mobile (non-car) player then this boombox + Sportster is an affordable solution. You're choices are very limited right now so this product is as good as it gets.
I don't HATE this product but I get frustrated at it's lack of bass/treble controls.
