Discover Satellite Radio

Whether you like to tune into music, sports, talk, or news, satellite radio gives you hundreds of listening options, plus benefits like:

• Commercial-free music

• Digital signal available wherever you are

• Static-free listening

• CD-quality sound

To get all these features, you need a satellite radio and a subscription to a satellite radio service. Your equipment must be compatible with your service provider, so before buying a satellite radio receiver, check out its service provider's channel lineup to get a sense of all your listening options.

Satellite radio is available everywhere you go. Simply decide where you want to listen and choose the equipment that's right for you.

Plug-and-play satellite radio receivers

Plug-and-play satellite receivers like the Roady, SKYFi3, Sportster and Starmate allow you to use one device to listen to satellite radio, whether you're at home or on the road. A car kit or a home kit lets you hook up your plug-and-play receiver to your existing car stereo or home stereo. Search for your favorite song, artist, or channel, and use preset buttons to keep track of your most-listened-to channels. Plug-and-play receivers also fit into some specially-designed boomboxes, so you can take your music to a friend's house, or listen at the beach.

Handheld satellite radio receivers

For ultimate portability, look into handheld satellite devices. Most have a display to help you search for tunes and display artist and song title information and many handheld satellite radios let you pause, rewind, and fast-forward live radio. Some models, like the Helix and the Stiletto, also work as MP3 players.

In-dash satellite radio receivers

Put a designated satellite radio in your car with a satellite-ready in-dash receiver. Popular brands include Pioneer, Sony and Kenwood.

Satellite radios at home

It’s no problem to transfer your plug-and-play receiver from your car and then enjoy satellite radio on your home stereo and home entertainment system. But if portability isn’t so important or if you are looking to get the best sound quality possible, larger home satellite receivers are also available.

In addition to your satellite radio receiver, you might want a few additional accessories to get the most out of your listening experience.

• Home kits/car kits: The kits include everything you need (cables, antennas, mounting brackets, docking stations) to start listening to your plug-and-play satellite radio at home or in your car. Installing a plug-and-play in your car may be a bit tricky. If you're not mechanically inclined, you can go for a professional installation.

• Satellite radio antennas: An antenna is a must for the crisp, clear sound satellite radio is known for. Antennas are usually included with boomboxes and car and home kits. You'll need to purchase one separately for home component tuners, external satellite radio tuners, and in-dash receivers.

• Satellite radio mounts: A vehicle-specific mount can keep your plug-and-play receiver steady and secure while you're driving.

Other satellite radio accessories include headphones, cigarette lighter adapters, and cassette adapters.

Before making your purchase, make sure you know exactly what you're buying, research your seller, and understand how eBay and PayPal protect you.

Know your purchase

Carefully read the details in item listings.

• Figure delivery costs into your final price. If you spend a lot of money, make sure the seller will insure the item when it ships.

• If you want more information, ask by clicking the "Ask seller a question" link under the seller's profile.

• Always make sure to complete your transaction on eBay (with a bid, Buy It Now, or Best Offer). Transactions conducted outside of eBay are not covered by eBay protection programs.

• What is the seller's Feedback rating? How many transactions have they completed? What percentage of positive responses do they have?

• What do buyers say in their Feedback? Did the seller receive praise?

• Most top eBay sellers operate like retail stores and have return policies. Do they offer a money-back guarantee? What are the terms and conditions?

Buyer protection
