Guide Review - SV1 SIRIUS One Satellite Radio Receiver
I hate jumping through hoops and I also hate buying products so bloated with features they simply complicate and confuse the basic tasks you want to accomplish.
The SV1 SIRIUIS One is an entry level piece of hardware that does one thing very well: it's turns on and let's you listen to any channel on SIRIUS that you want. On the surface that may seem rudimentary but think about it: do you want a Satellite Radio receiver any more complicated than the current radio in your car? Not me.
The design is sleek and straight-forward with easy to see and use buttons and display.
I was very pleased to see there were several options for after-market installation into my truck: visor mount, windshield mount, and sticky-mount for any other suitable surface.
I chose the windshield mount because the footprint of the SV1 is so small, I could easily place it very close to the button of my windshield and run the wires along the top of the dashboard to avoid them hanging down. But, depending on your vehicle and needs, the other options are good to have.
If you've been itching to see what all that commercial-free music they've been touting is all about, the SV1 SIRIUS One is an affordable entry-level radio.
