Sean Alexander finds the Sirius S50 a disappointment

Looks like the s50 isn't living up to hype at all. Sean found the unit poorly designed and severely crippled with the following limitations.

Recordings are limited to a maximum of 1 hour each.
Only shows (yes, that's right only shows - not music) can be saved with a scheduled recording.
You can record individual songs - not schedule a recording - after the song ends, the recording stops.
Scheduled shows are limited to a maximum of 20 with a maximum of 2 hours per each recorded session.
If you attempt to schedule more than 20 recordings, you will be prompted to delete an existing scheduled recording or to discard the new recording schedule.

Yikes, there's almost no value in this thing. You're better off getting a Sattelite radio for the car and a small portable media player. This one's dead in the water folks, even Howard Stern can't save this thing.
