The receiver also lets you program up to 30 presets of your favorite streams, as well as search by stream, artist name, song title, or category. And with a quick press of the one-touch jump button, you can instantly switch between traffic and weather reports for your city and any of your preset music, news, or entertainment channels. Other programming details include an S-Seek function that stores your favorite artists and songs and alerts you when one is playing on any of the music channels, direct station tuning via the numeric buttons, and a channel lock option. Time functions include an onscreen clock, alarm, and sleep timer, as well as a program alert that allows the unit to switch to a preprogrammed stream at a selected time.p The Sportster 5 really earns its stripes, however, with its variety of enhanced features designed specifically for sports lovers. The Game Alert feature prompts you when your favorite NFL or other sports teams are playing on Sirius. The Game Zone lists all of your favorite teams in one virtual category and lets you select a different team from each of the various sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, NHL, and college sports. And what sports fan could do without the Sportster's instant replay function, which lets you pause, rewind, and replay 60 minutes of live radio? As soon as you tune to a channel, the receiver automatically begins storing the audio for later playback.p The Sportster 5 also 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 to enjoy the full array of channels. Simply set an empty FM frequency on your radio and tune the Sportster 5 to the same frequency. This function also works with other FM tuners, such as the one on your home stereo, but is easily paired with the car thanks to the bundled vehicle kit, which includes everything you need for listening to Sirius while driving. Parents also have control over channels and channel lockout. Measuring just 9.5 x 7.5 x 3 inches, the Sportster 5 weighs a mere 3.7 ounces.p bAbout Sirius/bbr Sirius Satellite Radio delivers more than 130 channels of music and programming via crystal clear direct satellite feed.

Not the best but it's ok. November 10, 2009
Jason M. Babila (Renton, WA)
I have the Sportster5 for nearly a year and it worked fine until it started to indicate antenna not detected just recently for some reason, luckily I kept my starmate which worked without any problems for nearly 2 years, I have to swap back to the Starmate to continue listening, another issue I have with sirius is when I swapped from the Starmate to the Sportster last year(08)it was free to swap but now, they charge an extra $15 to do a swap, buncha rip offs.
 Best ever September 29, 2009
Dennis H. Harlan (Poland,In)
Had the Sportster 4 for 3+ yrs. then bought this. Major improvements .... this unit is worth the money.
new September 22, 2009
A. Rosati
i bought this as a gift, but I didn't do enough research to see if he would be able to install it into his car. He decided he would not be able to best utalize this model, so I returned it. But the product was shipped ontime, was new in the box and looked great. We did not get a chance to use it.
Best of the ones I've had September 21, 2009
Damond E. Horner (Everywhere... USA)
I'm not sure off the top of my head what my first two models were... Which really isn't important here... What I will do is answer some of the questions, or rather assist some who may experience install issues or customer support issues...
br /
br /First to install, it's quite basic and should be able to be installed, by someone will little to no electronic experience at all in under 30 minutes...
br /
br /You have the following wires, Power,antenna and a line out if you go that route. I will say this, I would invest in a 15 dollar item from Crutchfield, that will block all engine noise if you have an issue with it.
br /
br /The Antenna, isn't as troublesome task as you might think... find where you will place the unit on the windshield... and start from there running it down the left side of the dash... pull the kick panel away just a bit and tuck it in there... with either a phillips or a torx driver, remove the screws holding the piece you see when you open the door... I'm not sure what they are called, but when you do that, there is a spot there for the wire to go, continue to the back seat, and pull it away or out, so the wire will go into the truck... open the trunk lid and place the mouse on the trunk... put everything back the way it was and you are good to go...
br /
br /Now just power it up and you have some tunes...
br /
br /Customer support, there is a trick to this, that I figured out along the way... When you call, don't ask for sales... when the prompt for tech support comes up, go that route...( they speak perfect English ) and they can set it all up for you...
br /
br /Any questions, ask
