0ur opinion: :Get in the game with the plug-and-play Sirius Sportster 4 satellite radio receiver, which sports a new slim profile while still maintaining the same great features for which the Sportster series is known. Just like other Sirius-compatible receivers, the Sportster 4 offers a large, easy-to-read display, a rotary tuning knob, and accessible buttons, but now moves seamlessly into your car, home, or boombox. More significantly, the Sportster 4 maximizes the listening experience of Sirius radio's broad sports lineup, with the ability to decode the incoming Sirius digital-quality signal from more than 120 music, news, and sports channels. lt's also easily transportable, and thanks to the bundled car kit, lets you listen to your favorite satellite radio programs while driving.
An easy-to-read, six-line display tells you the channel name and number, category, artist name, song title, and time simultaneously. The receiver also lets you program up to 30 presets of your favorite streams, as well as search by stream, artist name, song title, or category. And with a quick press of the 0ne-Touch Jump button, you can instantly switch between the traffic and weather reports for your city or any of the other music, news, or entertainment channels. 0ther programming details include an S-Seek function that stores your favorite artists and songs and alerts you when one is playing on any of the music channels, direct station tuning via the numeric buttons, and a channel lock option. Time functions, meanwhile, include an onscreen clock, alarm, and sleep timer, as well as a program alert that allows the unit to switch to a preprogrammed stream at a selected time.
The Sportster 4 really earns its stripes, however, with its variety of enhanced features designed specifically for sports lovers. The Game Alert feature prompts you when your favorite NFL or other sports teams are playing on Sirius. The Game Zone lists all of your favorite teams in one virtual category and lets you select a different team from each of the various sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, NHL, and college sports. And what sports fan could do without the Sportster's instant replay function, which lets you pause, rewind, and replay 44 minutes of live radio? As soon as you tune to a channel, the receiver automatically begins storing the audio for later playback.
The Sportster 4 also includes a built-in FM transmitter that sends Sirius radio programming to your vehicle's FM tuner, so you don't have to make a direct connection to enjoy the full array of channels. Simply set an empty FM frequency on your radio and tune the Sportster 4 to the same frequency. This function also works with other FM tuners, such as the one on your home stereo, but is easily paired with the car thanks to the bundled vehicle kit, which includes everything you need for listening to Sirius while driving. Components include a vehicle docking station, a suction cup mount, a vent mount, a DC power supply that plugs into your car's cigarette lighter, a roof-mount antenna, and mounting hardware.
Sirius satellite radio is a subscription service that provides more than 120 channels of programming, from digital-quality music to news, talk, and sports. lt is available only in the lower 48 states--not in Alaska, Hawaii, or U.S. territories. The Sportster 4, which measures 4.5 by 2.9 by 0.6 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a one-year warranty.

* get sirius people ...
i bought my sportster 4 back in december as a christmas gift to myself. i fell in love with it right out the box. it was extremely easy to hook up, took less then an hour. I haven't really listened to all of the stations...right now i'm hooked on channel 29 punk. best punk around, sirius has a huge rock selection. if you're into rap sirius is not the way to go...they only have a limited amount of channels.
I'm using the FM-transmitter that came in the box...the only think about that is that you have to find a clear station and around these parts its hard to find a good clear station...i finally found one in my part of town and kept it on my presets in my car. every now and then i'll get static but i don't mind it...
enjoy.

Easy to use radio BUT terrible transimittor
First off, I must separate my Absolute LOVE for SIRIUS the company with this ho-hum radio. It's a great radio if you don't need a transmitter. First, let me explain why you might want a good transmitter. For those of us who listen to Sirius sat. radio in our homes, we often walk around the house or in my case the apartment. When I had my simple XACT model the transmitter was fantastic and I could dial the Sirius radio to my favorite station and have it playing on every radio. This was a great perk as often my boyfriend wanted to play his music on our stereo system and I could go take a bath or go into the bedroom and still use the sat. radio without moving the whole system and plugging it in. Also, it was great in the kitchen I could listen while loading dishes. Ok you get the idea....
So the rest of the radio is very simple and easy to program your favorites. It is fairly handsome. However, the really special thing about the radio is the Sirius service which I have had now for 2 and half years. The reason I got this radio is that my Xact model died and I called the company to put my service on hold until I got a replacement model. THE COMPANY SENT ME TWO OF THESE RADIOS FOR FREE...Who does that anymore? They had nothing to do with one of the models that broke and still THEY SENT ME TWO RADIOS FOR FREE. I have to say except for one customer service rep...Who was nice but a little spacey I have to say everyone at Sirius customer service has been extremely nice to me. But then again I may be blinded by the fact that THEY SENT ME TWO RADIOS FOR FREE.
You might be saying two of her radios broke. Yes, my Xact model which I don't believe they make anymore broke. My boyfriend bought me a Sirius Stilletto 100 refurb. for Xmas. The stilletto only lasted about 6 months. The stilletto is a Sirius product but the Xact model is not. I don't know if my experience is the norm. However I own many Tivoli products and they NEVER break...I mean never. I might have to purchase their sat. radio for $300 if I want a Sat. radio that lasts.

Utterly Unsatisfying [Sirius Satellite Radio Receiver, Sportster 4]
I am completely and utterly unsatisfied with this product. It simply did not work. I am also disappointed with the Tiger Direct return policy. I spent almost a hundred dollars on a product that did not function properly and could not return it to the seller! I spent days trying to return this item with no results. I would criticize more if i had any energy left at all to discuss this matter.

* Yikes ! ...
I go tthis for my dh for his birthday cause he had wanted one. Needless to say I wish I hadn't bought it. We ended up cancelling the service all together, we had bad reception in alot of places. I tend to believe it is not just the unit, cause we know alot of people who are not happy with Sirius.
