CNET has this review of the Sirius Antex SRX-3. The editor gives it a 7.6 out of 10 rating.

This is definitely an expensive dedicated home receiver, coming in at around $1300. This Sirius enabled unit is designed for users who want a multiroom or custom installation for their homes. The SRX-3 comes in at 3.5 inches high, 17.75 inches wide and 12 inches deep.

The SRX-3 has three digital optical outputs and three stereo analog inputs that will feed up to three rooms. A high quality indoor/outdoor antenna is provided with the Antex SRX-3.

The Antex SRX-3 basically combines three Sirius tuners into one. The bad part about this is that you still have to sign up for three subscriptions to supply all 3 of the SRX-3’s tuners.

The SRX-3 offers the best sound of all the Sirius home receivers, according to the editor, but is still not on par with CD quality sounds.

If you’re looking for a less expensive option for a Sirius home receiver, check out the review of the Kenwood DT-7000S which, however, will only allow you to play one Sirius station at a time.

CNET has this review of the Delphi CD Audio System. The editor gives it a 6.6 out of 10 rating.

This Delphi Boombox will play CDs of MP3, CD-R or CD-RW discs. XM Satellite radio is received by snapping in a Delphi SkyFi recevier unit. The Boombox also doubles as an AM/FM radio. The middle section of the Boombox swivels 180 degrees - one side has CD and radio audio, the other side has satellite audio.

The Delphi Boombox weighs in at 8.3 pounds. The included satellite radio antenna only unravels 10 feet - which is fine for when you’re close to a window but can be a pain if you’re not.

The Boombox is powered by either A/C power or 6 D batteries. Battery life will range from 6 to 10 hours depending on what you’re listening to. Regular radio takes less power, satellite radio and cds take more power.

The editor was very irritated with the controls of the Delphi Boombox. That was basically the major flaw of this device. When the center piece rotates, the antenna for regular radio has to be folded or unfolded everytime to actually turn. The editor also says that because one set of controls is always hidden that it is hard to quickly switch between satellite and regular radio or cd audio. The remote control also has really crammed controls.

Sound quality from the Boombox is pretty good, with richer audio than the previous Delphi boombox and good bass. You can pick this boombox up for about $150 - keep in mind you also need the Delphi Skyfi unit to listen to satellite radio.

Crutchfield gives us this Xact XTR3CK Visor Review today. Twelve people give it an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars.

This little plug-and-play Sirius satellite radio is fairly small, about 4 inches wide by 4 inches deep by about 3/4 inches high. The Xact XTR3 comes with a car docking kit(the home docking kit is an optional accessory). The car docking kit includes an antenna, cigarette power cable and mounting stand. The mounting stand gives you 4 different mounting options: on the dash, on the windshield with suction cups, on a vehicle specific mount(like one made by Pro Fit) or on your sun visor.

The Xact XTR3 does lack the ability to record and buffer shows(no rewinding to hear what you just heard) like on the Sirius Starmate Replay or Sirius Sportster Replay. It also is not capable of playing mp3 files or playing content while not hooked to a docking station like the Sirius S50.

The Xact XTR3 Visor model can be had for under $50 and is a good “beginner’s unit.”

PCMag has this review of the Thomson Sirius Rip and Go RS2100 which apparently was debuted at CES this year.

The Thomson RS2100 is a bookshelf audio system. It includes a 5-CD changer, USB port, and an MP3 player. The system rips music to the player at a speed of 2X. The editor was disappointed that it only has 256MB of on-board flash memory, but it’s a step up from the 128MB the first model had. The RS2100 system will also receive Sirius satellite radio(though you’ll have to buy a Sirius HomeConnect antenna for $49.99). You can record Sirius radio directly to MP3 for time-shifting with this model.

There is an included wireless USB transmitter that will enable you to send audio signals to your PC. The RS2100 will retail for $299 and will be available this summer.

Sirius Canada is finally getting Howard Stern. He will debut Monday on the “Howard One” channel.

There was some concern that Stern wouldn’t be allowed to broadcast on Sirius satellite radio because the CBSC(Canadian Broadcast Standards Council) found that his program was too foul.

It’s believed that many Canadians actually purchased US based satellite radio receivers to listen to the broadcast of Howard Stern, which bipasses the CBSC’s initial ruling anyway.

However, this will be good for Sirius as i’m sure there were many Canadians who either already had Sirius and just couldn’t listen to Howard Stern or there were some people holding out for Stern to be broadcast on Sirius radio in Canada.
