Sirius SV2-TK1 InV Satellite Radio with Car Kit

Sirius SV2-TK1 InV Satellite Radio with Car Kit
  • Easy-to-use, affordable Sirius satellite radio receiver with bundled car kit
  • Decodes digital-quality signals for more than 130 music, news, and sports channels
  • Easy-to-read 3-line display; 10 station presets; One-Touch Jump button
  • Built-in FM transmitter with support for up to 100 FM frequencies
  • Measures 4.5 x 1.9 x 0.7 inches (W x H x D); 1-year warranty

Both other reviewers didn't rate the product. They rated amazon's service. The product is great for it's price. It's can be hooked up with it's built in fm transmitter or directly with it's headphone jack (which does not include the wire and requires you to have an aux in for your vehicle). Both work well and the sound is crystal clear. The missing features are easy indoor hookup (no compatible boom box) and lack of rewind/fast forward but neither are needed for car only use.

Buy Sirius SV2-TK1 InV Satellite Radio with Car Kit Now

I initially had no interest in this product but I received it "free" with my sign-up for DirecTV just before Christmas 2007. After using it for two weeks, I really like its programming and the quality of the signal and NO COMMERCIALS! I look forward to football season and getting numerous game broadcasts from all over the nation!

I installed it in my car using its built-in FM-transmitter function (I tune both my FM-radio and the Sirius FM-transmiiter to an unused station.) I initially mounted the Sirius antenna on the car roof with the antenna cable hanging down through my sunroof. I later moved the antenna to inside the car at the foward-most part of the dash just under the front windshield. After using it like this (with wires everywhere!), I am very pleased and have decided to sign-up for long-term Sirius service. I am now paying to have it professionally installed using a direct line-in to my factory radio (i.e. no more FM radio broadcasts). I never thought I'd pay for radio but I'm convinced it's worth it if you can afford it.

This was a Christmas gift for the wife. I purchased this to see how things would go (service, installation and pricing of Sirius), well, I'm pleased. They have won me over.

I like the SV2 for it's simplicity and ease of use. My wife has no complaints; she spends more time in her car than I do, so it is worth it. I'm thinking of taking this SV2 & upgrading her to a different model. Folks, you can't go wrong here.

Seller mislead/lied to me regarding the shipping time. My order has taken over 2 weeks to process and I still haven't received the product. Pay no attention to their "delivery estimate" because it means nothing.

Do yourself a favor and take you business elsewhere.

The Amazon Product Review for theis radio states both that "you'll have to connect it to your stereo console via wires" and that it "includes a built-in FM transmitter that sends Sirius radio programming to your vehicle's FM tuner, so you don't have to make a direct connection". Which is it?

Coby CR-A54 Digital Alarm Clock Radio - LED

Coby CR-A54 Digital Alarm Clock Radio - LEDClock runs fast. We reset it 4 times already, but every time it gains a good 2-3 min in the first 24 hours after reset.

Still giving it 2 stars because the design is exactly what I expected for the price: the display is large enough to see from across the room, and red, so it doesn't create light at night.

I would be willing to try a new one, maybe the defect is only in the one I have, and not in all models.

It's a great clock except it doesn't keep time very well. I also noticed that the time is off by about 12 minutes after a week of use.

Now the search for another dual voltage clock...

My little girl loves it. She broke her last clock this one seems a little more durable. Hope I dont have to get another one for a while.

Want Hello Kitty Projection Alarm Clock Radio - Pink Discount?

I bought this for my 5 yr old daughter, the alarm is so quiet that it doesn't wake her up. There is no adjustment for alarm volume. And there is no way to turn alarm off once it is set. The projection is just a hello kitty head, that only comes on when you push the button on top and stays on for a few seconds. Don't waste your money!

Please do not waste your money on this clock!! It doesn't project the time just the stupid Hello Kitty design on the wall/ceiling!!!! I bought it for a child that sleeps on the top bunk thinking she could see the time projected on the ceiling but since this doesn't it's worthless!! Like I said "Save your money" don't buy this!!! Would love to get my money back!!

Ambient Weather WR-088-X2-KIT Emergency Solar Hand Crank AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio, Flashlight, Cell

Ambient Weather WR-088-X2-KIT Emergency Solar Hand Crank AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio, Flashlight, Cell Phone Charger 2 Pack
  • The Ambient Weather WR-088 Weather Band provides assured access to news, weather information and illumination whenever and wherever you need it. The rubberized finish makes the WR-088 splash-proof. This robust and dependable radio, with integrated LED flashlight, offers a choice of self-charge, solar and external recharge power options.
  • The WR-088 delivers complete independence from wall power or disposable batteries, ensuring sustainable access to vital information and the peace of mind that you'll never be without power. Ambient Weather's self-charge technology means unparalleled playtime performance, and the compelling design makes the WR-088 a great everyday radio, as well as the perfect companion in emergencies.
  • A must for any emergency toolkit or your everyday portable radio, the compact WR-088 is an AM/FM NOAA Weather Radio and a powerful 3 LED flashlight, with cell phone, MP3, MP4, Amazon Kindle (TM) and USB charger, all in one tiny package. The WR-088 is a five way charger - charge from a USB device (computer), AC or wall power (with optional converter), DC or car charger (with optional converter), hand crank, or solar panel. The Ambient Weather WR-088 is a radio that you and your family can depend on, anytime, anywhere, any weather.
  • The WR-088 sets itself apart from other crank chargers - you can fully charge the WR-088 through the USB/AC/DC adaptor, and when you need it, charge the cell phone/mp3/mp4/USB with no cranking. Other crank chargers require continuous hand cranking to charge a device. Optional adaptors are available for AC (house) and DC (car) charging. Includes mini and micro cell phone adaptor cables, which cover about 90% of the cell phone market. EXCEPTIONS: Does not charge Apple IPhones, Ipods and Ipads. Some cell phone adaptors sold separately.
  • The WR-088 will play for approximately 20 minutes at normal volume per 1-minute wind, and can be rewound at any time for as much playtime as you want. An LED charge level indicator tells you the best speed to wind. In direct sunlight the WR-088 will charge itself and play continuously - the internal Ni-MH battery can be fully charged from both the solar panel and an external USB charging adapter.

Bought 4 of these for our camping/emergency backpacks. I liked the cell charge feature, the rechargable battery, the solar and hand crank, and the price. We fully charged the units with the USB charger and then powered my son's dead cell phone enough to make a phone call or two. (Works with 3 of our 4 cell phones, Blackberry, LG Ally, LG cosmos, not my Samsung Alias2 which has a funky charger, but I suppose there would be some adapter you could get.) They are light but have a nice, solid, good quality feel. My son had great fun testing them and gives them 2 thumbs up.

Buy Ambient Weather WR-088-X2-KIT Emergency Solar Hand Crank AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio, Flashlight, Cell Now

Buy this radio for the "hot" FM band. I have FM receivers costing 10 times what I paid for this but don't have the same FM reception. The radio is small but has a very good speaker. I was amazed. The AM band leaves much to be desired, but since I rarely listen to AM, it doesn't matter. The solar cell will charge the battery even if the sun isn't shining. It does for me even on cloudy days. I use one of my AC transformers in case I want a rapid charge of the battery. If you want some exercise, you can wind the crank! I checked to see if it actually would charge my cell phone. It did. Flashlight is OK.

I wish the weather band was selectable for any of the 7 NOAA WX frequencies, but instead it scans for the strongest one. I use my Kaito KA-500 to select the WX band I want. Only reason for rating it 4 stars was because of the mediocre AM. FM rates 5 stars +. If FM was its only capability, it would be worth the price!

These were well worth the money for all the storms our country has been having. They do not need a battery and if you charge them in the sun, then you won't even have to use the crank. Sturdy and well made, with good sound on the radio. Would purchase these again.

These little gadgets deliver alot in a small durable package. One small area for improvement is the hand crank. It falls from it's storage location. I used a small piece of vecro to address this minor gap. I am completely satisfied with this product and the service I received from Ambient Weather.

Coby CDRA147 Digital AM/FM Dual Alarm Clock Radio / CD Player

Coby CDRA147 Digital AM/FM Dual Alarm Clock Radio / CD Player
  • Digital clock with large 4-digit LED display
  • Top-loading CD player with programmable track memory
  • Sensitive AM/FM analog tuner. Dual alarm clock with sleep/snooze timers
  • Wake to CD, radio, or buzzer. Full-range stereo speaker system
  • 3.5mm headphone jack, Clock backup with 9V battery (battery not included)

I wanted an alarm clock that I could use for playing relaxation cd's to fall asleep with. I needed one with a headphone jack so as not to disturb my wife. I assumed on buying this clock that the cd would also play cd/rw's since almost all cd players have that capability. Not so with this guy.

In addition the display is extremely bright and the controls are difficult to use, especially in the dark. Numbers do not appear completely on the clock and only one channel of the headphone jack works even with pre recorded cd's. Better to spend your money on just about anything else or give it away to someone who needs it more than Coby.

Fisher PH-DTA300 IPOD Docking Station

Fisher PH-DTA300 IPOD Docking StationI've had this item for about two weeks and hands down, it is the best Ipod Clock Radio I have had. I have bought and returned the IHome, JBL On-Time, ZipConnect Isoother, and the Teac GR-10i Clock Radio for iPod.

All of the above were great in their own way, but in looking at sound, flexibility, and price, this is hands down the most balanced system, it's a keeper.

Side by side, this compares very well to the IHome and Teac in regards to price as they are very closely priced (within $10 of each other, typically). In comparison to the IHome and Teac, one thing that was a big deal to me was the dock. I have an Ipod Video with a plastic case around it. With the Ipod Video, you will have to take the case off to use it on the IHome and Teac, with the Fisher, you do not have to take the case off. In regards to size, the 3 are very similar, but where you will see the biggest difference is in regards to the sound. The IHome gets distorted when you turn up the volume and the bass cannot compete with either the Teac or Fisher. The Teac is a great product, at a great price, but the deal breaker for me is the inability to use the Ipod Video without taking off my plastic cover. In regards to crisp highs and bass, the Teac and Fisher are comparable.

In comparing to the ZipConnect Isoother and JBL On-time, the Fisher beat the ZipConnect hands down in sound. The Isoother is more portable, but just cannot compete in louder sound level as you will hear the distortion. The Isoother is typically about $50 more than the Fisher. The only advantage I see with the Isoother are two things, the ability to use it with other MP3 players other than the Ipod and the portability. With the JBL On-Time, it is the most expensive of the items I bought. The JBL does have the best sound overall, but it also costs double the price of the Fisher. What turned me off about the JBL is for some reason whenever the unit turns on, including when the alarm triggers it sets the ipod to start playing the library (i.e. all songs) rather then continuing from where you left it. This means you lose the playlist selection, the current playing song etc. The manual states the ipod should start from the last played songs, but its not so. Its annoying as its impossible to set to wake to a specified playlist for example. My workaround is to use the ipod built in alarm feature in addition to JBL's alarm. But that shouldn't be so.

Keep in mind that if you have the Ipod Video with a plastic case, it will not fit in the IHome and the Teac. The Zipconnect Isoother and JBL On Time are the most expensive and do not have remote controls.

I hope this info helps as each product is great in it's own way and based on what you are looking for. But if you are looking for the total package in price, sound, and flexibility, the Fisher is the best, hands down.

Spent a lot of time researching these docks, i required one with am/fm and the ipod hook up.

Pros:

-Good Sound

-Compact body design, will be easy to travel with

-Every kind of snap in attachment to fit any ipod size, even Gen 5

Cons:

-only one, you can't change albums from the unit or the remote, you need to do so from the ipod directly. Not a problem if you have playlists already setup, but if youare like me and jump from artist/album to another, you have to be near the unit.

I researched this purchase for a while because I didn't want to get stuck with a dud. This is a great ipod clock radio.

It has VERY good sound, much better than most clock radios and that horrible Bose. It could use a TOUCH more treble. The bass and midrange are absolutely present in a balanced fashion. I docked 1 star for missing the tiny bit of treble. However, as I said, it's still the best sounding clock radio i've heard.

Other than that it has great features and a handy little remote control. you can go to sleep with the ipod and you can also wake up to a pre-set song on your ipod. can't ask for more than that. it's also quite attractive--a bit "space age" look with a smaller footprint that my previous clock radio.

now, i can listen to any of my 11,000 songs right in my bedroom!

strongly recommended. if you aren't an ultra-audiophile, accept this as a 5-star review....

Compares well with the competition and a nice, solid unit.

Two complaints (ditto for all the others I've tried):

1) Clock display still TOO BRIGHT, even at lowest setting (that is, the setting above "off").

2) Display contrast not adjustable (?). I can't see it from below, which is where my bed is located relative to the shelf the clock sits on. This seems to be a very common problem with LCD displays on clock radios. They're all aimed up at about 45ยบ, with no provision for adjusting it (which is DUMB).

Other than the above, I like the fit-and-finish, sound quality, remote and appearance of the Fisher.

I've tried everything BUT the iHOME iH5, based on the complaints I've read about it.

I did a lot of research before asking for one of these fancy-schmancy ipod alarm clock things for Christmas. At first I kind of laughed at how expensive they were for a dumb alarm clockuntil I compared it to what I already had (I've been living in the alarm clock stone age). Among the things that I chose this product for were:

-Charges my Ipod. I didn't buy the stupid AC adapter so I've been doing it on my computer all along, which has been annoying

-Good sound quality. It's actually not that bad. I haven't had my audiophile boyfriend listen to it yet, but at the very least it doesn't get you out of bed just to turn off the distortion of your favorite songs. I actually listen to it as a regular stereo.

-Backlight dimmer. I need COMPLETE darkness to sleep. I agree with another reviewer who says that the lowest setting is still too bright, but you CAN turn the backlight off completely. For me, this is an extra plus because if I wake up in the middle of the night and look at the time I usually get depressed about how little sleep I'm getting. If I can't see the time, I freak out less and get to sleep faster!

-Dual alarms! Woo hooo! The other good thing about the alarms is you set them with separate volumes than the thing plays at

-Batteries, so when the power goes out it still stays on and wakes you up. Amazing! (yes, I said I was living in the alarm clock stone age) Even after you take the batteries out I found it at least keeps your settings.

The only thing I think I would change is to make it so that you can fall asleep listening to one playlist and wake up to another. I don't know how hard that would be to do, but it would slightly improve the product.

That's about it for its cool features. The other thing I wanted to comment on was the exceptional service I got from the Sanyo Fisher Company. The first unit I got was defective in that the Ipod would play normally, but when I wanted to wake up to the alarm, the unit would not turn on the iPod and I wouldn't wake up. Normally, the unit does have a feature where if the iPod is not plugged in the buzzer will sound, but I guess this specific unit was broken with that too. I called their toll-free customer service phone number and was able to speak to a knowledgeable service person right awayno confusing menu mazes, and I wasn't put on hold for hours. I had to send the unit to their service center (and that was not free, but...) and the guy told me it would be 7-10 business days. I tracked the package and it was received by them on the 10th. I received a brand new replacement on the 12th. Now that's service! I would highly recommend this product and this company.

Duet D888 Quad-Band Dual Sim Cell Phone - Unlocked

Duet D888 Quad-Band Dual Sim Cell Phone - UnlockedVery poorly written User Manual. Incomplete, not enough illustrations, explanations, directions. Is it English? Except for the basic CALL functions, you will have to find out how everything else go by trial and error. Some printed descriptions and instructions do not even apply, nor are they doable on the phone.

The phones have so many impractical functions. Be contented with simple call and text (SMS) functions for your money. I just hope the phone works long enough to get the hundred bucks I paid for it.

One very irritating problem is the inability to easily shift from lowercase to uppercase, and back, when composing SMS. The user must press several keystrokes to do these. (The very complex INPUT SELECTION).

Get yourself a NOKIA 1208, and the likes. You'll be pleased with its flashlight.

Trends UD-10.1 Lite USB Audio Converter

Trends UD-10.1 Lite USB Audio ConverterIf you are using your computer to listen to your music collection through your stereo than this little box is a must. I recently purchased a Trends UD-10.1 DAC converter and was at first a bit skeptical as to the level of audio improvement I could expect from this little box. The end result is absolutely stunning and I am now listening to details in my music that I never knew were there. With the use of this DAC my MP3 collection has gone from somewhat dead sounding to vibrant and alive. I never knew my MP3s could sound this good and have no problem recommending that others purchase this unit.

I have a music collection on primarily 192kbps CBR MP3s until a few years back when I shifted to 192kbps VBR for the improvement in dynamic range and detail. My MP3 music collection always sounded a bit flat and the loss from the original CDs was very obvious when listening on my system. Now using the Trends UD-10.1 I am able to say that my music collection sounds so good that I no longer consider the difference between the original CD and the 192kbps VBR MP3s to be that great. My computer has finally become a true audiophile grade component. Hey it only took about 10 years!

I also listen to streaming audio, and am a fan of Radio Paradise. The 128kb AAC stream of RP now sounds fabulous with dynamic range and detail that were simply never there before. Soundtracks from movies that I stream via Hulu are also dramatically improved.

I am using the Trends UD-10.1 on a Windows 7 machine and there was no setup. I simply plugged the unit in and it worked. Windows has automatically recognized soundcards as does Mac. So setup is not a problem, though I have not tried this unit on my Mac just yet.

For me the UD-10.1 brought out details in the MP3s that I never knew were there. The slide of a hand on the guitar, the breath of a vocalist before or after singing. All of these subtle nuances were preserved in MP3 format but the low quality soundboards within my computer simply couldn't reproduce them. That was my biggest surprise. I had always thought that much of what I was losing when I converted to MP3 was due to loss in the encoding process, it turns out that about 80-90% of this loss was due to poor audio coming from my computer. So don't fret, more of your music is there than you originally thought! This was especially welcome for my earliest recorded MP3s where the quality was clearly not as good as today even at 192kbps.

I would give this product top marks for improvement of sound quality relative to price. I am delighted with my purchase and the improvement in sound quality is nothing short of a miracle. So there was a Big Surprise in this Little Box.

Dell Inspiron DUO iD-4495FNT Laptop with Docking Station (Foggy Night)

Dell Inspiron DUO iD-4495FNT Laptop with Docking Station
  • Intel Atom Processor
  • 1GB DDR3 RAM
  • 320GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
  • 10.1-Inch Screen, Intel NM10 Express
  • Windows 7 Home Premium

I bought this computer because it was a small and tablet and it had decent specs for a netbook. When it works it's great. It runs windows 7 wonderfully for web browsing and document editing. It is lacking in reliability.

I had to send it back to Dell 1 month after I purchased it because it wouldn't turn on. Dell replaced the motherboard. Around 5 months after the first repair I had to send it back in to have the palm rest(touch pad) repaired. Now, 2 months after the second repair and 8 months after purchase it won't turn on again and is going to be sent back.

I don't know about the rest of the world but I don't expect to have a computer fail 3 times in less than 9 months. I have had 2 other Dell laptops which have had no problem this model is poor quality and not up to dell's normal standards, or they have lowered their standards

The duo itself makes a fine small (10.1") computer and is quite capable even though it is a tad slow but it's not a powerhouse desktop either. When the Duo is added to the Dock it makes a fine pair. Sound from the stand alone Duo is minimal and barely a strength; however, when the Dock is added it makes a significant difference but, again, it is not a large set of stereo speakers either. I usually turn mine on in the morning and let it run most of the time just to hear the background, music or internet radio. I use an 8Gig flash drive to hold music and pictures; however, when I pair it with the desktop it will take several thousand Picasa pictures and show pictures all day. This is not a tablet but a netbook computer and well worth it. When it's time to go to the doctor and wait for what seems like forever I have my handy laptop and can use it for about 3 hours since my docs office has wireless.

Love this netbook. The flip screen makes it even more fun. Not bulky in the tablet mode. Down fall is battery life.

I replaced a 1 year old Toshiba Netbook with the Duo. There is no comparsion. Even ignoring the difference in HD size. The Dell just works wonderfully. I have no issues with battery power, it lasts close to 4 hours, which is plenty. The screen is beautifly clear and the switch to a tablet works well. I bought directly from Dell however since they are now using a higher performance processor (also more energy efficient) that what is listed on Amazon. Also, I didn't want black. The keyboard is great and the mouse pad works better than anyone elses version that I have found. I love the docking station. I also added Android apps which I find very usefull. Dell's pricing was better than any sellers on Amazon as well. But, check around, that can change.

I cannot explain the few bad reviews, I am very happy with the device and it's perfomance. I have been in the industry for many years, so I know how to evaluate performance properly. We have 6 dell PC's in the house and have never had a issue with any. Maybe some do not know what to expect or how to understand what PC specs mean.
