 Fantastic and easy results December 26, 2008
My Delphi SkyFiII home kit antenna would not work through our windows (low e?) or exterior walls (brick?), so we haven't listened to XM indoors for 4 years. This year, we decided to do something about it and got this antenna, the recommended 50' cord with the included amplifier, and an XM range extender, all on Amazon. The hardest part was routing the wire from the house exterior through the attic to the room we wanted to put the range extender transmitter. I verified the signal at each step in the process - not without issue - and got it all installed so I get full signal strength anywhere in the house now. The antenna was a snap to install. This was a no-brainer at the current price.
Great signal strengh December 3, 2008
The two piviot points make it easy to mount and align. The use of standard RG6 with F connectors is wonderful due to availability.
A very good Antenna. Recommended November 30, 2008
I have a skyfi2 and boombox. This antenna has made all the difference. I live near a wood and the signal with the original home antenna would drop out all the time. I then bought a signal repeater so I could put the antenna in the best position in the house and not have it connected to the boombox all the time. This was an improvement, but still the signal was variable and would still drop out from time to time. The signal repeater can be found here: Delphi XM Signal Repeater
Having now bought this antenna I have it hooked up to the signal repeater and I have a strong three bar (max) signal with no dropping out.
Just a word on the repeater; there is a variable signal strength selector at the back (why it does I have no idea). The default setting is to "minimum" which will transfer the signal a few feet only. Make sure this is selected to "max" to get the best performance from the repeater.
The performance of the antenna appears to be very good and it is very easy to set up with no apparent need to "tweak" its position, although I was expecting it to be made of more substantial materials (especially at this price) - it is made of plastic, but it seems sturdy enough for the job and as long as it keeps working well that's fine by me!
All together, I have spent in the order of $150 upgrading the "home" kit so that it actually works properly. Thank goodness for Amazon's discounted pricing - it would have been a few $100's otherwise. OK, I can now run several radios off the repeater if I want to (we have two so I bought an extra boombox for the garage), but I have to say that I just don't think that the original antenna is up to the job. It was immensely frustrating to try to work with it. Has anyone actually got it to work?
Full Strength Signal At Last...all the time!!!! November 15, 2008
My XM signal was real spotty using the indoor antenna that came with my SKYFI2 home kit. There were days that I would get 3 bars but more often than not, 2 bars was a good day, and a "usual" day was one bar with the signal annoyingly cutting in and out. I decided to give the Terk XM6 antenna a try. It only took about an hour to mount the antenna on the roof and to run RG6 cable from the antenna down to the basement and then up into the living room. BINGO....3 bars...all the time...every day....every night. As I listen to my radio a lot, I am very happy. If only all of my purchases were as successful as this one. This was money well spent!!!
