Review on XPMP3H1 Portable Satellite Discontinued Manufacturer by Adam Hardy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product but activation should have been easier!

I love satellite radio. For me it is money well spent. I wanted to use a laptop when not in the car and this product looked like it would fit. He is very small. Easy to use. It connects easily with many included accessories. Two caveats: 1) This is a satellite receiver, not quite a "radio"! This means it will work well if it has a clear view of the satellite, but it won't work well if it's moving all the time. It means "great on the beach while you read" but "not great for running or walking". That means "Plug it into an external antenna if you're indoors, but don't rely on indoor reception without an external antenna." 2) XM/Sirius still has a long way to go to provide good customer service to offer. I wanted to transfer an account from a car I no longer own. I had to wait two hours, redo my story, try to use the computer site but it crashed, etc. Finally (finally!) I found a person who could solve my problem in minutes. These guys don't take it easy. Conclusion: I would definitely buy the receiver again.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Slightly torn
