Sirius Home Kit
The home kit is great idea for the P-N-Play units like the Sportster unit. I have two - one hooked up to my stereo system, another in my garage hooked up to my 'old' Sansui stereo.
However, the Antenna that comes with it is only 'so-so' - and must have a direct, clear path to the satellite. I don't because of trees to the North. I added the TERK SIR6 Outdoor antenna and mounted so it is just 'Peaking' over the garage roof. I now have 100% signal quality vs. only 40% with the black antenna.
If you are SERIOUS listner, then invest in the SIR6.
Crutchfield Sirius Satellite Radio Home Kit
I chose Crutchfield because they were the only company showing that they still had this product. Well, not only was it backordered and not arrive for its intended gift date, it also wasn't the product listed. So now I have a credit to Crutchfield, not to Amazon, and have no desire to give the company my business.
3rd Attempt
I am in the process of returning my 2nd home kit. "Antenna Not Detected". The unit works fine in the car, but will not recognize the antenna at home. This is a different error msg than signal lost.
Called Tech Support they suggested I return the base unit and try again. Overall my opinion of Sirius support (lack thereof) is growing daily. Sorry had issues with the initial purchase of activation.
