5.0 out of 5 stars Rate the PRODUCT, not the customer service..., November 16, 2006

This review is from: Sirius S50 Satellite Radio Receiver Home Dock (Electronics)

The S50 Home Kit does exactly what it's supposed to do, and it does it perfectly. It includes everything you need to listen to high-quality, digital satellite radio from your S50, plus a few extras: the dock, the power cord, 2 sets of audio cables, a remote (with battery), and an antenna.

A previous reviewer gave this item 1 star because of a poor customer service experience. If what she stated is true, then it's terrible, of course, but that's no reason to rate the *product* poorly... She should delete her "review," and use the Discussion area for non-product comments like hers.

That previous reviewer also erroneously claims "...it requires a car set up to use it in the home dock." That's ridiculous. First of all, when you buy an S50, it comes with a car dock, so even if you did need the car dock to play it at home, you'd already have it. Regardless, you don't need the CAR dock to use the HOME dock; that wouldn't make any sense at all, would it? From what she wrote, it sounds like she bought this home dock thinking that's all she needed, and never had an S50 to begin with... Maybe she should have done a little homework (like reading the part that clearly states "For S50 satellite radio receiver [sold separately]") before making her purchase.

I've owned this Home Kit for a year, and I haven't had any problems with it at any time. I've disconnected/reconnected the antenna a few times, and unlike another reviewer, nothing has ever broken.

5.0 out of 5 stars S50 even better at home!, April 9, 2006

I have had my S50 for several months now. I am very pleased with quality and style of the radio in my car. The S50 home dock has made me even happier with my Sirius radio purchase. The home dock is well made and sounds fantastic feeding Sirius content into my Bose wave radio. Controls are identical to the car base and it looks awesome, it is in another class from all other home satellite units without moving up to something like a Tivoli. I love it! If you have the S50 in your car and love it, you need this base. The TV is getting jealous of all the time I now spend with my Sirius Radio at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product!, September 20, 2009

I wouldn't consider having my Sirius system without have the home dock. It's old and outdated now, but it still keeps working great.
