* WOW I love this antenna! ...
This is a mus if you get poor reception at your home. Before I bought the antenna would get only one bar most of the time. With this one it is a full bars all the the time. It is also very easy to mount. If you have Sirius and want the best reception buy this antenna........

* Solid Value ...
Works just like advertised. Well built, received product in just 48 hours, quality A-1. If you need an outside antenna for your Sirius you couldn't ask for more and at a very reasonable price.

* Superb Strong Signal Solution ...
I finally got tired of non-100% reception after two years. I initially started out with my old Dot Micro indoors, then soon after moved to the "pie plate" method (to supposedly increase the "ground plane" to help with reception). After about a year of having to move it back and forth every few hours I moved it outside. Unfortunately the only practically reachable part of the roof faces the wrong direction. This improved signal some but it would still waiver often and cut out enough to still be annoying.
I recently located a somewhat accessible part of the roof with a pipe that would provide a much better view of the sky, so I went ahead and sprung for this antenna and an extension cable. It was a bit of an adventure doing the install (mainly the making sure not to fall off part), but in the end it has definitely been worth it. I have yet to see the signal strength meter waiver one single time off of 100%.
This antenna appears to be rather well hardened against the elements. People have reported problems over time with the Dot Micro so I'm glad to not be relying on that anymore.

* Great 4 outdoors ...
We used our antenna that came with the sirius boombox and it would lose signal. We used it at a hangar while we would do maintenance. since I bought this antenna its been great jamming out at work.

* WOW - What a Difference !!! ...
Bought this for my new home stereo receiver that has Sirius on it. This item has worked perfectly. I have had NO signal loss at all. My wife and I each have Sirius plug & plays in our cars as well as the boombox. You always seem to lose your signal from time to time with the antenna that is included with the boombox (mostly during indoor use). So i decided to go with this outdoor antenna for the new receiver and I'm glad I did. Installion was simple. I attached it with the included hardware to my satellite dish and ran cable antenna (with extension kit) to my Sirius Connect Tuner.
My set up is as follows: "Sirius Home Outdoor Antenna" connected to "Sirius Single Cable Antenna Extension Kit" which is connected to "Sirius SCH1 Connect Tuner" which in turn is connected to home stereo receiver.
I have been very happy with all my products made by Directed Electronics and would recommend all.
