A Must For Home Use.......2007-05-13
Sirius was being optimistic with its antenna that comes with their home kit. Aiming it became a ritual; aim it towards the couch (perfect signal) then drop outs two hours later. Then aim it at the TV (perfect signal, then drop outs again). Repeat above.
Replaced that antenna with this roof top model. Then excellent reception, all day, all the time. Worth every penny. I mounted it on an old sat antenna pole and used the sat combiner/splitter kit (Sirius brand, Monster has one identical) to make use of the existing sat cable. No new wiring! It will work with the new 5 LNB DirecTV dish wiring to boot.
GREAT!!!.......2007-05-07
Wish I had purchased this a lot sooner!! I now get 100% uninterrupted listening, unlike with the antenna that came with my boombox which often lost signal while in the house.
Specifications from the user manual.......2007-04-04
I just received my antenna, and while I haven't yet installed it, so far I am pretty impressed. It seems to be sturdily built and includes all the hardware you'll need to mount to a mast, or directly on the side of a house or the roof itself (sealant or caulk is advised for roof mounting). I'll return here and update or add another review once I've had a chance to test it. For now, I'll post the specifications from the manual, since they aren't part of the product description.

A More Sirius Antenna.......2007-01-10
This antenna improved reception indoors and out. The small antenna included with the radio and boom box lost the signal easily due to trees- there are a lot here and more out camping. Although not perfect, it is a great improvement over the standard antenna.

Watch doors and windows.......2007-09-23
I used this antenna with a boombox. It worked fine until a sliding patio door cut the wire in half. My problem here is the sliding door was not slammed shut or mishandled. The wire seemed awfully fragile to break the way it did. If you will be putting the antenna outside, make sure the wire will not be pinched by a door or window.
No signal at all.......2007-08-16
I'm a veteran Sirius customer and can honestly say this item is worthless for the most part, especially if you live in Area 5 (see Sirius' webpage on positioning and installaion). Never has worked in the 2 years I've owned it, regardless if it was inside or out- sat it 75 feet away from any building with a clear sky above and still never worked. This just doesn't have a strong enough signal to pick up anything especially in area 5.
However I did find something interesting- the magnetic small car antenna works better than anything even for a home docking kit which I use it on. It will pick up a perfect signal even beside a building and obstructions above- save yourself some $$$$ and just use the antenna for the car at your home too!
You'll need the perfect , undisturbed spot for this antenna.......2007-03-06
I was unable to get a consistent, satisfactory signal with this unit.
I found that unless you had perfect alignment to the satellite, this antenna did not receive the signal consistently well. Also, the least movement of the connecting cord or if someone moved the blind/curtain, this would often be enough to move the antenna and thus disturb the exact positioning required to make this antenna function properly.
In the end I returned this unit and got an extra car antenna (the one with the strong magnet); this allowed me to put an extension cord under the window sill to the outside. I then was able to easily find a site that gave me excellent, continuous satellite reception using the magnetic antenna (exact positioning is not nearly as demanding for the magnetic antenna). Since then my home unit has worked perfectly.
Very Nice.......2007-02-13
This is a nice antenna just make sure it is close to a window or top story of home/business to get a signal.

Excellent.......2007-11-13
Terk quality and ease of installation is there, as always. Performs great in a heavily wooded area around two sat TV dishes. Just be sure to play with the heading and elevation tilt a bit to gain full performance from it.
sirius outdoor antenna.......2007-10-27
Before purchasing the Terk outdoor antenna, I had been using the smaller antenna that came with the Sirius home kit. Until a few months ago, I had been having no problem, the antenna right outside one of my windows. Then I started experiencing drop-offs, where I went from three bars to none and loss of signal. Since I put the Terk antenna on an elevated deck post, I have been having perfect reception. I did take time to aim the antenna properly, speaking to my wife on a cell phone, until she indicated to me that I had obtained the best position. I have this antenna attached to a Terk extension cable, as well. I could not be happier with both products.
Go to the Hardware Store!.......2007-10-13
I mounted my antennae on a 50 cent L-Bracket.
The magnetic car-kit antennae sticks firmly to the stainless steel bracket.
Great product.......2007-09-20
I found the unit to be very well built and well engineered. it was easy to install, and even before aiming properly was pulling in the signal perfectly.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for an external antenna solution.
better than stock.......2007-09-02
This is a better antenna than what came with the Serius radio. My radio only blacks out when the satellite shifts twice a day. It is simple to mount and is easy to adjust. It would be better if could be a 360 degree adjustment.
Still it is much better than the stock antenna.
