Despite the surging popularity of satellite radio, many consumers only
think of it as entertainment for the car-not as music they can enjoy at
home or on the go.
Fortunately, there are a number of receivers out there that let you
listen to your satellite radio virtually anywhere you go. Here, a
leading provider of SIRIUS Satellite Radio, RadioShack, offers tips on
how to bring your satellite radio with you from the car to the home or
the open air:
On The Road
Traveling in the car is hard to avoid. However, there are a number of
satellite radio options out there that go hand in hand with the open
road. The SIRIUS Sportster Replay is a plug-and-play receiver that lets
listeners pause live radio and listen to complete coverage of the NFL,
NHL, NBA and college sports. It even provides one-touch tuning to
traffic and weather reports. A second option is the SIRIUS Starmate
Replay. It comes standard with virtually everything you need to make
your music mobile-including a remote that controls all functions so you
can keep your eyes on the road. Both devices let you record up to 44
minutes of content for later playback. Also, both come with alert
features that notify you when any of your favorite songs or games come
on the radio.
At Home
Home accessory kits and boomboxes from providers like SIRIUS let you
take satellite radio programming into your home. One option is the
Starmate Replay Home Kit, which includes a docking cradle, an
indoor/outdoor windowsill antenna, an AC power adapter and audio cables
for easy connection to your home entertainment system. Another option
is the Sportster Boombox. It not only lets you bring satellite
programming into the home-but it also lets you take it to the beach,
park or tailgate party.
On The Go
The latest innovation in satellite radio is completely portable. The
S50 Receiver from SIRIUS is a portable, wearable receiver that lets you
listen to your favorite satellite programming whenever and wherever you
want. You can install it in your car, take it indoors for home play, or
store up to 50 hours of programming to take with you anywhere. You can
even store MP3/WMA music files for later playback. You may also want to
consider listening to satellite radio through your mobile phone. SIRIUS
and Sprint have teamed up to offer 20 original, commercial-free music
channels, plus a channel devoted to artist interviews and guest
performances that can be streamed directly to Sprint multimedia
handsets.
