Great Product...Should Come Standard September 9, 2008
As with most companies, Directed Electronics gives us a product that does not work well without an upgrade. So here we are buying extra equipment that should come standard. Does that say something about the world we live in? Consumerism run rampant. Oh well, this antenna works excellent. Where I live, there is no signal from ground and I was constantly having to climb to the peak of my roof to reposition the little antenna that came standard. With this one you will never have to do that again. It sends out it signal very strong and you will have good reception on your unit. At least I don't have to deal with those incessant commercials that you get with FM, TV, looking out your car windows. Didn't think you were gonna get some philosophy with this review, did ya.
Excellent solution.... August 28, 2008
This is the second time I have ordered this antenna due to the fact that the first one work so wonderfully. I have many tall trees next to the house and needed a solution to at least provide constant two bar reception. Both antennas, one for the family room the other installed on a tree for the deck entertainment system, provide excellent reception for an older SB4000 Sirius receiver. The footprint is small and the mounting hardware is more than adequate to provide a stable platform. I would highly recommend this product if you are in need of satellite reception for your Sirius home solution.
WOW I love this antenna! July 30, 2008
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 June 9, 2008
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 June 6, 2008
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.
