 Better than i even expected! November 16, 2008
Bought this for my husband who works outdoors doing landscaping. The reception is good but it does fade sometimes when you are active. However, the one touch recording allows him to record hours and hours of programming over night and then there is no interruption. He loves it and Amazon is always the best price!!

Stay away. Cheap piece of junk, fell apart for me right out of the box. This is total crap.
Very pleased November 9, 2008
Waited almost 3 years to buy this product. Was not sure if I wanted to commit to the satellite radio but now I'm so happy I did. Love the recording feature and having satellite radio at home and on the road.
Works great for me with no external antenna November 4, 2008
Others have covered the pros and cons of this device pretty well. I just thought I would mention that I use it in my car with no external antenna and it works great, with very little to no loss of reception. I live in South Florida, which might have something to do with it....I'm not sure.
Be aware that if you put it in the docking station, the internal antenna cuts off, so you must use an external antenna with it docked.
I mounted it in a cup holder device with a mount made to hold a cell phone (shop around, you can find these for about $10). I only have a wire going out from the headphone connection to my radio, which has an external jack for a peripheral device, and a wire to the cigarette lighter plug for power. I really don't even need the power connection if I prefer to just keep it charged and home and move it back and forth, which means I only really need the one wire to the radio for it to work, should I prefer to set it up that way. By the way, if you have a car charger for a Roady device, it should work fine with the Inno with their included adapter (mine did).
My only really complaint is that the remote that comes with it has really stiff buttons, so changing the channels, etc with it takes some getting used to, meaning that simple tasks via the remote are more work than they ought to be. Also, switching to the favorite channel listings that you have created is sort of a pain....you have to click the right arrow key, then move up or down, then click select, then if nothing is on that channel you want to listen to, back you go again through the same process. I wish there was a simpler way to do this (there may be, perhaps I just don't know about it).
The record feature is particular handy to have...if you are listening to a song on the XM that you like, just hit the record button and it records it from the beginning, even if you push record halfway through the song. You do, of course, have to have it on that particular channel from the song's beginning. When nothing good is on (yes, even with all their channels quite often XM comes up short on anything worth listening too) you can switch over to your recorded songs.
Anyway, I've been very pleased with it thus far and I do recommend it.
 once you can get reception it works fine November 3, 2008
this device is not at all intended for indoor use unless you're using the home docking station. Which isn't very loud and the quality of the sound could be better. Overall I enjoy the service provided but I just wish the reception was a little better.
