Easy install but...........2005-02-17
Very easy install.. but a little warning. You may need to purchase a shielded cable. ( ie: Monster or Acoustic Research). Hooked up two of these one downstairs, one upstairs.Downstairs on a inexpensive audio system (Aiwa bookshelf system CD.Cassette,Am/Fm). That one worked fine. Upstairs on a larger Denon A/V Receiver not so good, major humming noise.Turns out the unshielded cable supplied with home kit picks up major electrical interference from receiver (I'm sure there's a proper word for that). Discovered I wasn't the only one with that problem.Installed a shielded cable for about $13.00 noise gone. This probably applies to the home kit for the SKYFI2 if it uses the same cable.

Very happy with reception without being in south window.......2004-04-28
I recently rented a Cadillac from Avis and was able to listen to XM at no charge. My wife and I really enjoyed it and decided the home kit option was something we were very interested in as we don't spend long periods of time in our cars.
I was reluctant at first because of worries regarding the antenna not being in a south-facing window. My stereo system is in a built-in entertainment wall and does not allow for the antenna to be pointed at a south facing window. After reading that many others have had success with the antenna in less than ideal areas, I decided I would give it a try. My house is 2 years old, one story brick with a normal pitched roof consisting of plywood decking and dimensional fiberglass shingles. It has 10 foot flat and tray ceilings.
After hooking up the cables to my surround sound receiver and placing the antenna on the top of the stack of stereo components, I pointed the antenna generally to the south and toward the ceiling at about 45 degrees. I plugged the SkyFi in and immediately was getting two bars on the signal strength indicator. I do not have terrestrial repeaters in my area, so I am relying solely on the satellite. After a few quick adjustments I was getting 3 bars or it bounced between 3 and 2 bars.
I was very happy to have it work, and it is not even close to sitting in a south-facing window. After getting a strong signal and hearing the sample channels loud and clear, I activated the subscription online. I timed it and it took 12 minutes before the tuner updated and began receiving all channels. I was pretty impressed it activated that quickly.
I picked XM over Sirius because I had a chance to hear it in the Avis rental car and I trust Delphi equipment. Overall, I am very happy with the SkyFi, the home kit, and the XM service.
Excellent adpator for home systems.......2004-02-04
This adaptor mates well with the SKYFI receiver and allowed me to connect the receiver to my high end stereo system. The out-of-the-box cable was cheap and unshielded and caused a loud hum in my system. I replaced it with a shielded iPod Monster cable for $20 and the hum went away. I was surprised at how good the sound was through a $30K stereo system. It is not CD quality (uses lossy compression) but was better than my Stereophile Class A tuner. I would highly recommend this as a great addition to any home stereo system with an available RCA input for an additional device. There was an audiophile version of an XM Radio home tuner which included FM, but I do not believe it is currently available.
Great, but not perfect.......2003-12-10
XM Radio and the Delphi equipment for the most part live up to the rave reviews:
=marvelous on long road trips, no need to fear moving out of range just when you've found something engaging
=sound quality generally equal to FM
=wide, wide variety of programming
But, I do have a tip and a concern. The tip: if you plan on using the home stereo adapter, spend the $20 for a Monster cable to connect to your amp or receiver! It took me two trips to the retailer to get this resolved. It's especially disappointing since big bucks have been invested in the technology and programming and in the last few feet the signal quality is degraded to an unlistenable level -- and you've got to believe that the "adapter kit" is a pretty high margin item for Delphi. Had they maintained the quality of the product maybe Mr. Johnson would have been happier.
The concern: I hope XM takes advantage of the opportunity to take radio programming to some new and creative places. There's quite a variety here, but much of it tends to become a choice about preferred "wallpaper" music. It doesn't look like we're ever going to get anything creative from commercial radio, and XM has vastly greater resources than Public Radio if they want to use them.
My system works great (now) and there's a lot of potential here. It's worth getting now and we'll look forward to more from XM.
The Best A++++.......2003-10-13
WOW! This could not have come to soon. A+++
I'm not impressed.......2003-10-07
If you have a crappy stereo unit and are used to poor sounding audio, then this unit is for you. This is a poorly designed unit which takes a digital signal from space and turns it into the quality of a scratched LP record. If you have a high-end stereo system, you will not be happy with how this sounds at all.
