Its great, I can listen to Sirius in my office and I can even plug it into my stereo system and play it thru the speakers. I can also listen to other stations not in my area via the internet. I already have a couple of sirius subscriptions, so listening online is already included and thats where this radio works, no sirius doc or antenna needed. FM radio here in the washington DC area is completely unlistenable being I-heart owns most everything and has 20 song repetitive playlists that are horrible. There are stations I like but from other areas not here that dont come in locally, but I can listen to them here via the internet on this little gem. If you do like I-heart you can listen to any of their stations on this, you can do spotify, podcasts....... I bought this on the suggestion of a reviewer. I was going to buy this same radio in the sirius version but it only plays sirius, the reviewer suggested this on as its the same but will get internet stations and others as mentioned. Its $40 more than the sirius only unit but well worth it. Set up is easy, I never looked at the manual as its pretty self explanitory. For Sirius you must already have a sirius acct and be able to stream from the internet. Other internet radio stations you can just tune in. Love it and highly recommend this radio.
