My mom wants one for her birthday, but I have no clue what to get. She would be using it mostly at home, but maybe occasionally in her car. I was looking at a few different models, but I'm a Sirius noob (haha, get it?) and her bday is this Sunday. Thanks.

 

I have a Sportster 4 and have gotten the same for my father and father-in law. I like it b/c it has a tivo like feature and can store 30 mins of the channel in memory.

I have a starbase installed in my TSX...like it bc it is hard wired in and looks factory, but I miss the Tivo feature on the Sportster

I hate to say it, but it totally depends on what you want. Check out siriusbackstage.com or backstagesirius (I forget which one) for their insider site.

 

I have a Starmate 4 in the car and a Stiletto 2 in the office.

Both are good choices for her needs. I find the Starmate easier to use because it has more buttons and not an iPod like wheel and center click button.

 

i have the the original stiletto and its fan-fuckin-tastic!! the battery life is pretty piss poor but the functionality is great and in a major city like chicago where i am, you get reception no problem even without the headphones with the antenna on top. im on it at least 10 hours a day.....howard in the morning, bubba in the afternoons, music in between and on weekends, i couldnt live without sirius at this point

 

I have a Starmate 4 & 5 in my cars and a Stiletto 2 in the house.

 

stiletto 2 is tight
