Customer Reviews:

the worst satellite receiver on the market.......2007-04-12

The wires fray fast, due to the low-grade rubber/plastic insulation. Regular use will degrade the connection fast and eventually the wires will tear apart. Unit runs extremely hot. Extremely dissatisfied with product. Xact's customer service is right "up" there with the likes of Comcast and Sprint. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS UNIT. It's cheap for a reason.

works as advertised.......2007-04-02

The unit works well but lacks some newer features found on more advanced units. Also the way the cords go into the unit and the starting size of the cup holder mount made in unusable in my cars cup holder. It works great in the separate boom box that I use outdoors.

Wow, I must have gotten a good one!.......2007-02-01

Let me start by saying: I don't work for Xact, Sirius, Howard Stern or anyone associated with them. I've got one of these radios after being turned on to Sirius by my best friend, who has a Sportster. I picked this up for, I kid you not, $20.00 at our local computer store, on "Managers special" down from $130.00. With minimal trouble, got it "installed" in a spare cup holder, altogether, a very easy installation. My car has a pretty weak antenna, or maybe the transmit signal's really weak on these, I'm not sure which one it is, but I went the cassette adapter method to get the signal from receiver to car stereo, as it's louder and not prone to interference from any stray signals. The service is fantastic, and the sound that this radio puts out is really great! After a couple of months, I saw a boombox for my radio at the local thrift store for a whopping $10.00 new in box, with everything included, so I picked it up and put it in the bedroom.
I haven't had a single problem with the radio, and it sounds great in the car as well as in the home. The display is clear and easy to read, and the remote, although HUGE (when compared with, say, the visor's credit card) the buttons are easy to navigate without looking away from the road in front of you, and after a brief period, you'll have the remote memorized so you won't even have to glance at it. The clarity of the display makes it very easy to read across the room, or in the car, and I especially like the signal strength and antenna fine tuning adjustments for home use.
I've since put a visor in the car, and keep this one in the boombox for home listening. It does get rather warm, but nothing like the overheating issues I've read about in other reviews, and I, for one am very happy with it, and would recommend this to anyone who asks about it.

I have two of these and they work fine.......2007-01-21

So for the first time I looked at the reviews of this product, having owned two of them for 2 years. What is everyone talking about. I am about to buy a third one so that I can hook it up to the boom box that I just got off ebay to keep in my office. Overheating, never happened...Clumsy to use - you must have fat fingers as the remote works very simply.

I have to give it 5 stars because from day one both receivers work fine, and trust me I am a picky SOB. My colleagues like to say about me "if a complaint is a gift then Bob is like Santa Claus". If this thing sucked the way everyone is complaining then I would be at the top of the line.
Great machine, no complaints from me.

By the way, I don't work for Xact, Sirius or Howard Stern. If anyone has a machine they hate and haven't taken a hammer to it then let me know as I will willingly buy it.

BROKE TWICE!!.......2007-01-17

The first Xact XTR1 unit I bought broke after four months. The headphone jack went dead. Thank goodness it was still under warranty (believe me, it needs it). I am on my second unit now, this one lasted a bit longer, two years. Now all it does is restart continually. Sirius is a great service, but licensing to companies like XACT will ruin it's reputation. Xact XTR1 is not a well made product, do not buy unless you like wasting time and money.

Caution May be In Order........2006-02-12

I purchased this unit on December 31st (from another retailer). I wasn't sure I would like Sirius and with the rebate it came to only $8. By February 6th (around) I noticed that the unit would go back on when I turned it off. On February 1th the unit stopped turning on and ceased operating completely.

I use it only at home with the home kit that it came with. I bought The Inspire Creative T3000 speakers from Amazon to attach to the unit.

The speakers are fine (sound great when attached to my Mac) but the unit itself wasn't able to play many of the channels in stereo. The sound sounded a little tiny at times.

Also-the lack of numbers on the remote or unit makes it somewhat cumbersome to change channels. You need to move a cursor along a number line that is displayed on the screen of the unit.

Basic, easy to move from car to house to "boom box" if you have the additional docking stations. Sirius is worth every penny.

Poor Customer Service .......2006-12-14

I love satellite radio but I would be cautious about buying an Xact unit. Xact products carry a 12 month warranty. At exactly 13 months the unit stopped working. Xact customer service informed me they were no longer responsible for the unit. Before buying this product search the web and you will find many "13 month" stories. Instead, I would suggest buying directly from Sirius.
