What's the main thing to remember with Sirius Internet Radio setups?

Question

When you're setting your Sirius Internet Radio to listen the music and the radio shows on channel 118, where do you havta put it to get the best reception 24 hours a day 7 days a week? What's the thing that could get in the way of its perfect audio experience?

Answer 1

Are you talking about the satellite reception or the internet radio?  The internet radio is just on the computer, or on your stiletto model radio.  If you are using it on the stiletto radio, then you just have to be within good range of your wifi source (router, etc.).

If you are talking about satellite reception, for best results, the antenna needs to be outside with a clear view of the sky.  Sirius officially says to point the antenna towards Minnesota/Western Ontario.  But I've had best luck pointing the antenna straight up.  If you are in a large metropolitan area, you may be helped by ground repeaters which retransmit the satellite signal so it's easier to get a signal when the sky is obscured by buildings, etc.
