SIRIUS Echo SIR-WRS1 Home signal repeater for SIRIUS Satellite radios

I have the sirius radio for use in the home and wanted to use the unit in an upstairs room. I was unable to find a suitable location to mount an antenna on the second floor to receive a satellite signal. My antenna had to be located in the front of the home. So with the Sirius Echo SIR-WRS1 I was able to leave the antenna on the first floor and move the radio to the second floor. I receive excellent reception and have been using the device for a month now with out any problems. I would highly recommend it if you have a similar problem. The installation is very easy. Just plug in the repeater at the location of the antenna and the receiver by the radio and the job is done.

SIRIUS Echo SIR-WRS1 Home signal repeater for SIRIUS Satellite radios
I've had Sirius radio for a few years and love it a lot but found that my house is not positioned in the best place to receive the satellite signal. There's only one location where I can place the antenna for reception and that required leaving the cable strung along an open, hardwood floor. I bought this unit because my stereo receiver is placed in the center of my house and not near a window or door. I wasn't enthusiastic about running the antenna cable through the wall. The Echo SIR-WRS1 repeater and receiver unit are about the size of an Altoid mint tin but thinner and installation takes about five minutes. After about two months of use everything is still working fine and I no longer have a cable strung along my hardwood flooring (a tripping hazard for sure). The repeater unit has a short power cable so it needs placement near an outlet, it's only real restriction. I would buy this product again or make sure my next house faces Sirius satellites.

It doesn't work. I returned it for a refund. Simply does not work. Oh well.

I've had my repeater for about a month now and I like it. Before I purchased the repeater I would have to locate the radio near a window so the direct attached antenna could receive a signal. I installed the repeater in my basement, attached to a Sirius Outdoor Antenna (highly recommended). I can now locate my radio anywhere in my home, including the second story and the garage. You may have to play with the antenna on the receiver a bit for best reception or move the receiver an inch this direction or the other, but the product does work.

Does not even work a little bit. I should have just set 100 bucks on fire. This is typical garbage Sirius hardware. How can they have such good content and such inferior equipment? I can't wait for the merger so I can buy some real gear. Stay away from this product!
