Sirius S50 satellite radio receiver

The MP3/WMA compatible Sirius S50 satellite radio receiver might look good at the first glance, but digging below its glossy black surface and you will find some major grouses. You can only listen to it when it is attached to the dock that is powered by your car unless you purchase the $99 Home Kit or the $249 S50 Executive System. You can record a music channel for a max of 2 hours per recording and grab 1 hour chunks of talk radio – all this only if its docked and the car is running. The insanely long wired antenna is another design flaw we can do without.
