Overpriced, lousy signal, cant record on WIFI, horrible "support", November 16, 2009

Let me start by saying I am a fan of Sirius. I have been a subscriber for three years now. However, I am frustrated with how much money I sunk into this product. The Stiletto itself cant cost more then $20 to make yet it retails for several hundred! You have to purchase a home kit and car kit if you want to be able to listen through speakers at home or in the car. You have to purchase more than one home kits if you want to listen in different rooms in your home. You have to purchase a bypass for your vehicle if you want to be able to HEAR it since Sirius can't emit strong enough signals by law (customer service verified this). Then of course you need a case to protect it and a separate band if you want the portability of taking it on the train, to the gym, etc. All of these products aren't cheap! It's hard to get a signal no matter what I do at home...even when the antenna is outside! I only care about using the satellite because I want to RECORD and you can't record on WIFI! Stupid! I basically use this as a glorified MP3 player...and now I have to remember to take it with me everywhere so I can listen in the car and at home. Customer service is a joke! I spoke to three separate folks none of which spoke English clearly and none of which were willing to admit that there was a problem with the signal strength on their end since no matter what I tried we could not get a signal (and I live in a big city). Skip it.

Happy User, November 13, 2009
I am extremely pleased. I use it daily at work and at home. At home, I plug it into my
Bose wireless speaker and the sound is great. I have not used it as am MP3; whats the purpose when you have 160 channels to choose from.
Good, November 7, 2009
Good item. You need to have the "line in" in your vehicle because the FM transmitter is weak. Very weak. Besides that, it is small, portable satellite radio. The headphones with the antenna are large and not very comfy. I use a car kit and am considering a home kit.
Why is there no internet wifi reception? Especially if I'm standing next to my wifi transmitter?, October 27, 2009
I really love my Stiletto 2, but I will be standing next to the wifi transmitter in my house and I cannot get a reliable reception. It intermittently plays, but if I hook it up to the antenna placed out of doors for the Satellite reception it's good to go? What gives? This drives me crazy
Exactly what I was looking for!, October 27, 2009

I understand the negative comments about reception issues with this unit. If you plan to move around alot then there are going to be issues. However, I bought the Stiletto with a different purpose in mind. I purchased a home docking station so that I can record programs that are on at night that I don't have time to listen to, such as Stern. Then I take the Stiletto to work and I can listen to it during the day. I also record blocks of music off my favorite stations and then have them to listen to also. I haven't tried the wireless internet connection or the additional memory slot, but will in the future. Overall I am very pleased with the Stiletto and would recommend it to anyone who has satellite radio.
