Enjoy all 120 channels of Sirius satellite radio while driving in your car or sitting in your living room with XAct's XTR1UK plug-and-play universal kit. Equipped with an XTR1 satellite radio receiver, a universal docking cradle, satellite antennas for both your home and car, and accompanying power sources, the kit includes everything you need to enjoy satellite radio in virtually any location.

The XTR1 conveniently displays all artist, song, and channel information on its six-line readout, which also includes a satellite-updated real-time clock. Meanwhile, selecting channels and menu options is a snap thanks to the large, easy-to-access illuminated buttons. And drivers will delight in such bonuses as the 18 station presets, which let you quickly access your favorite stations, and the S-Seek feature, which lets you know when one of your 10 stored song titles is playing on a given Sirius station. You can even search the up-to-the-minute Sirius playlists by category, channel, artist, or song title.

The XTR1 sends its signal to your stereo receiver through its built-in wireless FM transmitter, which "broadcasts" the satellite signal over an unused FM frequency--no hardwiring required. As an alternative, you can also connect the XTR1 tuner directly to you stereo's input jack (if it has one) with the included patch cable for the best possible sound quality. And the docking cradle is versatile enough to work almost anywhere. There's no need to buy separate kits for listening in the car or at home, as this kit offers everything you need.

Additional features include a wireless remote for controlling the tuner from a distance; a sleep timer and traditional alarm; a lock function that lets you restrict access (via password) to Sirius' more off-color content, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack for private listening. The XTR1 tuner, which measures 2.75 by 4.62 by 1.38 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Note: You must subscribe to Sirius satellite radio to receive the satellite radio signal.

Disappointing... .......2007-03-03

I have the Boxwave Active Case for my Nokia E61 and love it. Most cases make your phone "feel" bigger than it really is because they add an extra layer of dark-colored plastic/leather/silicon/whatever. Not so with the clear case. This is about the same thickness as others, but the fact that it is clear and colorless makes it almost invisible.

Since I love my e61 case so much, I decided to buy one of these cases for my wife's SLVR. The case itself is really nice, and comes with two lanyards; one for your wrist, and one for your neck, both of which are interchangeable via snap-style connector. However, a couple of days later I noticed the my wife had removed the case and was using her old one, complaining that she could no longer hear the phone. After investigating, I found that the case was designed in such a way that it covers most of the ear-speaker, reducing volume by more than half. Very disappointing indeed.

I plan to do a little surgery with my drill to see if I can improve the sound. Hopefully they will change their design so that others don't have to change it for them :)

As for ratings and recommendations... I do recommend the Active Cases from Boxwave, just not this one.
