Nice, but far from perfect:
The antenna on the Home Dock is much trickier to use than the car antenna. In my part of the country, the directions say it must face north for best reception. However, all the windows in the room I have my stereo face south-east. You are suppossed to be able to install the antenna outside as well, but my windows do not open.

Rate the PRODUCT, not the customer service...:
The S50 Home Kit does exactly what it's supposed to do, and it does it perfectly.

I'd ordered this for a teenager only to find out that the description is misleading and it requires a car set up to use it in the home dock. He didn't have a car. But I agreed he could put the base in my car. But it didn't seem to... more info
S50 even better at home!:
I have had my S50 for several months now. I am very pleased with quality and style of the radio in my car. The S50 home dock has made me even happier with my Sirius radio purchase. The home dock is well made and sounds fantastic feeding Sirius content into my Bose wave radio. Controls are identical to the car base and it looks awesome, it is in another class from all other home satellite units without moving up to something like a Tivoli. I love it! If you have the S50 in your car and love it, you need this... more info
