Sirius Boom Box

Anyone else have one of these?

I just got mine set-up but am having problems getting a signal.I put the antenna in an open window with a screen and still nothing.

I finally had to move the antenna outside and it's working fine now but I don't want to have to put the antenna outside everytime I want to listen.

I guess my question is threefold,does anyone else have one of these,have you had problems getting a signal,is there anything you can do to get a signal without leaving the unit outside?

Here is the message board for technical Q/A Sirius Backstage

Hope this helps.

BTW, I just want to say that since I spent the $ on this radio medium, I'm NEVER going back to terrestrial radio.

I love it.
Thanks,and I absolutely agree I'm never going back again.

I have had a boombox for my sirius for almost 2 years now and I have taken it on the road with me and have always gotten an excellent signal.

I don't have any useful advice to offer, but at work someone has a little XM antenna sitting on top of their cubicle, and they don't sit near a window either. I think there might be a way to make it work.

I have a boombox too, but rarely use it for just that problem.

I have to hang the antenna out a South facing window for it to work.

I have a starmate also but I bought the home kit. I currently have it hooked up in my house but what I did is use the antenna that goes on the car instead of the one that came with the home kit because the one that goes to the car seems to be alot more powerful and you don't have t point it in any direction. Just set it into a window sill.

If you don't mind spending about $20 bucks for an extra antenna that would probably work well for you.

Extra car antenna link

Well I just tested the car antenna away from the window and its working like a champ.

Good stuff.

Managed to miss Bam-Bam somehow.

Listened from about 11am until 5:15pm with the exception of 45 minutes or so. Caught the doofus from Canada that they declared "the dumbest call in 3 years".

I have had the boom box for a year I was a howard stern fan and followed him over as soon as he annoced the deal with sirius.I ran the antena outside from day one and never have had many issues with it.You may need to buy a seperate antena for when you want to leave your house with the boom box.Runing the antena ouitside is the only way really not to have issues with it.
