Digital camera reviews of SIRIUS SV3-TK1 Stratus Plug-and-Play Satellite Radio Receiver with Car Kit
Digital camera Review: Cheap but you get what you pay for.
Summary: 1 Stars
Gets interference all the time. When I press the channel buttons they don't always go to the channel. I have to press more then once. It was difficult to find a good corresponding radio channel. Not near as good as my old Starmate. I'm thinking Sirius may not be worth it.Digital camera Review: Compact and easy to install
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my second Sirius receiver and it is small enough to mount almost anywhere. The FM transmitter is not as powerful as my previous unit, but the previous units violated FCC regulations and only tuned 5 frequencies. I would often get to hear Howard Stern from other cars on my radio when I was stacked up in traffic. For this unit, I use the cassette adapter and the sound is better and no more Howard Stern!Digital camera Review: Decent Radio
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this unit to replace my Sportster which I had for 4 years. Installed the mount on the dash of my '07 Honda Civic. Used the aux port rather than the fm transmitter mode which I had used previously. What a difference! Fantastic sound quality, no static whatsoever. Radio itself is ok. This is somewhat petty. But the preset buttons are not really easy to press. Trivial, I realize. But all in all this radio is good for the money. Nice to have Sirius NFL radio for the long commute!Digital camera Review: Deceptive Company, Terrible Customer Service
Summary: 1 Stars
DISREPSECTFUL AND DECEPTIVE -- I purchased a Sirius Radio for my husband for Christmas. The company offered a promotional package that included the radio and a $50 gift card to be used towards the monthly subscription cost. When my husband called to activate the radio the sales Rep immediately began to sell us $400 subscription packages, quote exorbitant activation fees ($50). I was appalled that the entire gift card was going to the activation!! There was absolutely no mention of the fee when I purchased. When my husband began to question the charges, the supervisor was consulted and suddenly the fee disappeard. I am sure that if we had not protested we would have been charged..... Then after he decided on a subscription plan, additional enhancements were suddenly suggested to get "optimal service". The Rep basically suggested that the basic service was inadequate and we would have to pay additional charges (above and beyond the quoted subscription rates) to really enjoy the radio. That was the last straw and my husband decided to cancel everything. He felt very taken advantage of and the victim of a Rep that did not know what she was talking about. The process took about 45 minutes and we hung up with the intention to return everything.
Here is the kicker! Because the Sirius Rep asked us to scratch the $50 gift card during the activation process, it is now void.... When I called to see if we could get the full amount refunded, since it was due to their very poor customer service, incompetence and deceptive practices, that we canceled, the customer service supervisor gave me attitude. He even agreed that the $50 was never used and was sitting in our account. However it was our fault...... When I asked for his name so that I could write a letter of protest to management he told me it was pointless and that I could not "bend the company to my will" simply because I was upset. I told him that maybe everyone up the chain would deny my request, but that I had a right as a consumer to complain if I wanted to. He refused to give me his name, as my case did not "warrant" divulging personal information. I was insulted by his direspectful and condescending tone. He did even see fit appologize for our initial negative experience with the company...
Bottome line -- I think this company is deceptive and disrespectful. I am stuck with a $50 gift card I can never use and a terrible opinion of this company. I feel that in each instance our complaints should have been dealt with professionally and with respect. Please think twice before doing business with a company who treats their customers this was
Digital camera Review: Do not recommend this item
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this receiver to replace the one I had for four years that stopped working. This new receiver is not strong enough to block other signals. I have a hard time receiving Sirius signal on a consistent basis. When traveling even 50 miles I have to change frequency. I feel I wasted my money and should have purchased a more expensive model.
