If you're listening to NFL games, the enitre score is displayed on the screen. This unit also has an EXCELLENT display, more like a computer screen than the scrolling LCD displays of other units. So don't expect this to sit in your car all night and record content while it is turned off. You can set the S50 to automatically record a Sirius show, however this only works in environments where the S50 is powered up all the time. The S50 performs quite well as a satellite radio, but then also records Sirius content for later playback. The S50 was Sirius' first radio paired with what is essentially an MP3 player. Sirus will no longer support it technically so the radio should now be considered disposable. I would not reccomend this radio to the casual user or to someone that is not familiar with it.

You will need an old 32bit machne to use the software to add anything to the radio that is not directly downloaded from the receiver function. The other issue is the software for putting your own playlists on the radio is Windows XP 32bit compatible only. This problem is not a fluke and unfortunately you take your chances regarding how long it will take or when you can no longer save or play back programing. The radio will only function as a Sirus radio receiver and the MP3 function becomes disfunctional. When the memory fails it will not let you save or add, delete or playback any saved programing. This model has a major problem with the memory failing. I own Three right now, one active and two that are not and just used as MP3 players.

I think it's the best for getting the most out of a Serius subscribtipn but the S50 does have it's problems. I've owned a number of this model radio over almost the past 10 years. The compact size of the Sirius S50-TK1 works in either the home or a vehicle.Ī great radio if you understand it's shortcomings After users enter the names of favorite teams into the unit, this car and home satellite radio receiver displays an alert each time that team is scheduled to play. While tuned into a sports event, this Sirius satellite radio receiver continuously displays and updates game scores on the large LCD display screen. Furthermore, a parental control lock on this car and home satellite radio receiver assures parents that their kids can't access inappropriate content or listen at a forbidden time. Users may preset up to 30 favorite channels for instant push button play on this Sirius satellite radio receiver and use the favorite song button to automatically record any song as it plays. The Sirius S50-TK1 also lets users to pause and rewind live radio broadcasts and store up to 50 hours of music or broadcast content. It offers continuous access to satellite channels and allows users to record favorite songs and other content for later playback.

The Sirius S50-TK1 is both a satellite radio and a portable MP3 player.
