Radio Outdoor

How can I make my Sirius Radio Home Antenna get a signal?

I live in an apartment building with windows facing east and a sirius radio signal to the west/northwest. I got a signal for about 5 minutes with the radio facing southwest (it went out), then 5 minutes of signal facing it north & then it went out again. I have it sitting outside on the windowledge, but still nothing. I can’t attach an outdoor kit because I live in a BRICK, apt. building. What can I do to make my indoor/outdoor antenna work???!!!!

Sarah, it depends on where you live, which antenna you have and how you position it. If you haven’t already studied the tips (below) then you should call Sirius customer support. It is possible, depending on where you live, that the building is blocking the signal. But Sirius Installation tips says you should be able to get a signal if you have an indoor/outdoor antenna and it’s positioned properly.

However, if you are at the geographic extremes of the signal, very far south or north, like upstate Maine or Washington or deep in southern Texas, that could be the problem and you may have to switch to an outdoor antenna and have a friend help you install. You could also talk to the landlord or superintendent of your building. Maybe get it on the roof and run some wire down to a window.

I take it you are in the Northeast part of the country. If you are in one of certain cities, Sirius uses ground repeaters that pick up the signal and beam it into your town for a stronger signal. This is all explained in the link below. Go to the link and read it thoroughly if you haven’t already. (hint: there are several options, keep hitting the back button and selecting another option in the Tips section-you may find an answer that will work).

Call Sirius (make sure you have your account number handy) 1-888-539-SIRIUS (7474), maybe their tech support people can help. They’ll certainly know more than any of us on Answers ;<)

Or, as another answerer says, use the online option. It's highly unlikely that the antenna is defective - though possible. If nothing else works, You may have to purchase some extra options that are also explained in the below link.

Good luck
