Placing the Antenna

For best reception of the satellite signal, it is important to make sure the antenna is mounted in the proper location on your house and facing the correct direction towards the satellites.

Due to the paths of SIRIUS satellites over the US, the best location for the antenna will depend on what part of the country you live in, the orientation of your home, and the locations of any obstructions that could prevent the satellite signal from reaching the antenna. Use the map shown below as a general placement guide for your antenna. The location of the “X” on the map must be visible to the antenna. It is recommended that, before mounting the antenna, you hold the antenna in the desired mounting location with the SIRIUS system set-up and on to make sure that the system works with the antenna in that location. You may need to try several locations to determine the optimal mounting spot. Once this has been determined, please proceed to installation. When facing the antenna towards the satellites, face the side of the antenna that has the TERK logo on it; this is the front of the antenna.
