A Sirius satellite radio

New York (SPX) Aug 25, 2004
Sirius Tuesday announced the introduction of the next generation satellite radio based on the latest Sirius technology. The Sirius XACT XTR1 "Stream Jockey" Plug & Play satellite radio, manufactured by XACT Communication, will be first introduced to the public via the Home Shopping Network on Saturday, August 28.

"We are thrilled to be introducing the first satellite radio receiver featuring our newest technology on the Home Shopping Network," said Bob Law, Senior Vice President, Retail Operations for Sirius.

"The XACT "Stream Jockey" by XACT Communication is a very exciting product designed for maximum appeal, and includes features that make it extremely versatile. We believe that it will be very popular with consumers."

One of the other unique features of the XACT "Stream Jockey," is that it can be used as a stand-alone receiver, connected to speakers or headphones. Or, it can be wirelessly connected to a vehicle's in-dash radio, or home stereo system, like other Plug & Play satellite radios.

"All you need is to get the satellite signal, and you're ready to go," said Ben Lowinger, Senior Vice President of XACT Communication.

"This product gives the listener the ultimate flexibility. You can use it in a vehicle, boat, home, or office. When you match the XACT "Stream Jockey" with the premium programming Sirius provides, you have an unbeatable combination, and we are very excited about offering this product."

The Home Shopping Network will feature the first units available on the market. General distribution and availability through mobile electronics retail stores will be in September, with various boom boxes and other options available in the fourth quarter of this year.
