Excellent with a little static.......2007-12-17
There's a lot of value for the dollar with this one. At times it gets staticy, but not being the purist, connectivity is what I most desire. Recommend.
Bad remote.......2007-12-14
This radio is great, however the remote doesn't work and Sirius customer support is terrible!!! When the radio was brand new and the remote was removed from the box and the battery installed, the remote did not work properly. The red indicator light stayed on constantly and the remote would not turn the radio on and off. When I called Sirius customer support they told me I would have to buy a new remote. Wait a minute! I just did that! Then they transferred me to warranty and they told me I would have to return the entire system for a replacement. Wait a minute! I just paid $100 to have it installed! With customer support like this, if I were you I'd buy XM radio! Radio gets a 5-star, but Sirius customer support/warranty doesn't even deserve a 1-star!
Refund Please!.......2007-12-06
This receiver constantly has static noise coming through. If the music is loud enough, it is not a problem. Sometimes I can hear talking / music in the background as it is picking up radio stations. It does this in the car and on our home set up. Also, the preset buttons started going out immediately after we got it. The 6 button doesn't work at all, and the 5 is starting to act up.

Good product. However, you better shell out for the accessories. .......2007-12-01
Alright so I decided to finally upgrade to the starmate 4 from the stratus. I'm happy with it. It does have some cool features like the pause, rewind, ffw abilities. As well as the memo feature so you know when your favorite song or band is on. Also, I love having more presets and more display information. The remote is nice but can prove to be more of a hassle since its IR meaning it takes a sec to work and its easy to mess up all your presets on accident. Overall the radio is great. Now the bad. The reason I knocked it a star is because it sold as a kit is a joke. In order to make it work you have to have a direct connection. I got a fm direct connector and it works great. Needed some antenna adapters to make it all work perfect though. Thank goodness I had the car cradle that came with the stratus. I'm not a fan of the suction cup or ac vent options. However the one I had happens to work great with it. Anyways thats my take on it. Overall I love it but sirius needs to rethink what their including with it. It would make the perfect product if they included what you actually need. Especially considering the fm transmitter isn't allowed by the FCC to be powerful enough without the direct connector.
Disappointed.......2007-11-01
I bought the Starmate 4 to repalce an older, larger unit. I had heard that the FM transmitter on the newer Starmates and Sportsters were useless (and that turned out to be true), but that didn't really matter to me because I hook it up directly to my car stereo via an aux input. However, I noticed right away after setup that the fidelity from the Starmate 4 wasn't as good-- it sounded tinny and lacking in bass. Thinking it was just my imagination, I then compared the sound from the Starmate 4, alternating with my car's FM radio and CD player, and then with my older Sirius unit-- and the Starmate 4 sounded lousy compared to all of them. Almost like an old transistor radio in comparison. Don't know about the new Sportster 4, so I am going back to an original Sportser or Replay, which on second thought isn't a whole lot bulkier.

Great idea, bad execution.......2007-10-17
I wanted to get better sound on my TV without buying a complete TV speaker system so this unit seemed ideal. However, I needed to return it twice for malfunctions. There was a processor problem which created static sound during a broadcast. (Customer service was very good.) The unit is OK for spoken word TV broadcasts but DVDs with music are a real problem. The soundtrack is played back too loud relative to the dialogue which is very distracting. I was very excited about this product and overall it has not met my expectations. I don't use it much.
AWESOME!.......2007-05-12
Absolutely amazing! I had no hiss at all, I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about!
This all in one surround sound system is just great, my wife loves it because there's no more cables all over the place and I love it because I get the surround sound I've always wanted!
Amazing bass, I swear I've had guests over asking me where the subwoofer was haha
Amazing treble as well
overall, a very good all around surround sound system that's unique, good and CHEAP for $300!!!
watch out for the hiss.......2005-09-19
Despite reading reviews that warned of an audible hiss in all but optical modes, I ordered this anyway as I use an optical connection. The electronic whine, which Soundmatters' FAQ describes as rarely an issue, is so loud (in all modes) that you can easily hear it across the room whenever the soundtrack goes quiet. Very annoying. I seriously doubt if all the units are this bad. I'll be returning this one tomorrow. It's too bad as the sound is otherwise quite good.
Mainstage Surround Sound Speaker System.......2004-10-30
I am very pleased with the quality of this product. The stereo speakers on my television set have never worked perfectly, emitting an unpleasant, tinny sound at certain frequencies. The Mainstage system has completely corrected that problem. CD's now sound wonderful, especially as compared with how they formerly sounded. I couldn't be more pleased with this product than I am.
