Sirius Stream Jockey

I am considering buying a Sirius Stream Jockey (with car adapter) and wanted to know whether anyone had any advice? It looks to be the smallest unit and is reasonably priced. Thoughts?

I have Sirius through my satellite TV. I didn't know it came with it, but now I listen to it 90% of the time, rather than leaving TV as background noise. Love it. If you are a huge sports fan, compare XM with Sirius in terms of sports covered. But if its about the music, go Sirius.

My wife has the Sportster and it's pretty sweet. If you can make room for something that size, you might end up with better features and a unit that's easier to control, but I didn't really compare it to other Sirius models (it does however outperform my Roady2 for functionality).

I'm not that concerned about the Sirius v. XM decision. Sounds like there are pretty diverse opinions on that front.

I'm more interested in finding out about anyone's experience with the new Stream Jockey unit as compared to other portable receivers. Help!

Thanks Booze. I saw the Sportster and it doesn't look to be a whole lot bigger than this new Stream Jockey thing.

I think my favorite feature on the Sportster (not sure if other models do it) is that when college football comes on, there' s a music category called "other sports" that you can select, and from the menu where you'd normally select which station you want, you can just leave it there and watch all the games constantly update their scores while you listen to something else. Very cool.
