Many people reporting reception problems...Too many users reporting reception sux in buildings made of concrete and steel.

I'm guessing these are people who don't read instructions. They see a boombox, and think "boombox, play it anywhere," and never wonder why the antenna cord is about 30' long.

Since this thread is getting so many views, seemingly from people considering to climb aboard the Sirius wagon: IF YOU BUY A SATELLITE RADIO, IT COMES WITH AN ANTENNA THAT REQUIRES A LINE-OF-SIGHT TO THE SKY. Maybe you'll pick up a signal without bringing the antenna to the roof, but don't count on it.

My boombox is on my desk at home. The antenna cord goes out the window, and up to the roof. I hammered 3-4 nails, with the heads sticking up about an inch, and slid the antenna onto the heads of the nails (like you would mount a phone on the wall). That's it, simple, done.

Reception = five bars.
