Receiver Network Capability

The SCV1 is built for use in a car's backseat and revolves around a breakout display controller safe enough for children that lets them pick from Sirius' traditional radio stations as well as TV from the Cartoon Network, Disney, and Nickelodeon. Listeners in the front are also free to tune their own radio via an FM transmitter that broadcasts a separate audio signal to the main system.

I can listen to my radio in the front speakers on the van, and my girls can watch tv in the back using the sound from the speakers on the screens or through headphones. Or, if you feel like giving them a theater experience, you can also put it through the vehicle speakers. The "tv" has its own remote, so you don't have to always change the thing over to change it for them. Plus, it runs off of "RCA" connection cables, so you can split the signal to as many "TVs" as you have available in the vehicle. My girls love this thing. I used to have to remember to bring DVDs so they could watch on trips, but now, if I forget it is not big deal. The channels are: Cartoon Network Mobile, Nickelodean Mobile, and Disney Mobile. They run the same programs, and have some commercials, but they run off their own separate schedule from their real TV versions. My only qualm with this thing is the lack of channels. I would like to see a couple more channels, maybe even a few adult channels (no, not porn, but maybe a movie channel or a few news channels; i.e. Weather Channel would be a plus). This is why I only give it a 4 star rating. Other than that, it is great. It costs roughly $20 a month for everything that Surius offers for radio and the 3 channels. Not a bad price. 4 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Good unit, but the service leaves a lot to be desired By Willford Instead of redoing the wheel, what follows is the feedback email I sent to Sirius about my experience with this unit. Like others, I was excited to find it on Amazon for a mere $37. Installation was a bit pricey and dicey as noted below, but still much cheaper than a factory option. The picture quality is pretty good (now that I have it working) particularly considering the price of the subscription is a mere $7.98/month. The problem that brings my rating down to a 2 is the very poor customer service -- including what I believe was a dishonest CSR attempting to milk a few extra dollars for the company -- that you must use in order to activate the product. My letter to Sirius follows and serves as the remainder of my review (for those unfamiliar with satellite radio "SID" is the unique identification number all of these radios have and is used by Sirius/XM to activate or cancel service): I am writing to inform you of what was probably the most irritating customer service experience I have had in recent memory -- and it was with your company. I have been a Sirius subscriber for about two years and have been an XM subscriber for about 4. I have had add-on units and built-in units. Recently, I purchased two new cars. The car I bought for myself had an XM radio built in and I had no problems turning off my old Roady II radio. I haven't had to activate my new radio because I am still in my complimentary period. The brand new 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan I purchased for my wife was a different matter altogether. It has a Sirius radio in it that comes with a one-year complimentary service. It worked straight from the dealer. I called Sirius to cancel the radio on my old van (a Chrysler Town & Country) about three days after buying the new van. The representative told me the account could not be closed until about the third week of February (I believe he said the 20th) and that I would receive a refund of about $27 (this is my recollection of the conversation and I may be off by a few dollars). The new van did not come with Backseat TV as a factory option. I purchased an SCV1 kit from Amazon and took the unit to Best Buy in Montgomery, Alabama for installation. Installation cost me right at $160.00. I was a bit concerned because the installer said he had never put one in before. I asked that it be mounted like it would be at the factory if at all possible. He said he would try. In the end, he wound up installing it so that a wire
