The satellite radio antenna is one of three basic hardware components youll need to receive those digital audio streams from your favourite satellite radio service provider.

Although both providers offer similar services and use similar technologies, the associated hardware, including the antenna, is designed to receive either XM or Sirius programming. We have read articles where listeners have interchanged antennas with some success but it is not recommended.

The antennas task is to pick up the signals transmitted from the Satellites and terrestrial repeaters scattered about the u.s., with a reliable receive performance. In order to achieve this, the antenna must have an unobstructed view (line-of-sight) of at least one orbiting satellite. In urban areas where buildings and terrain are likely to block the satellite signal, the antenna picks up the signal broadcast from the terrestrial repeaters instead.

To ensure an uninterrupted satellite radio service, both Sirius and XM provide recommendations for ideal antenna mounting locations. Furthermore, many home and plug-and-play satellite radio units offer special antenna aiming screens within their menu options.

With a rapid advancement in satellite radio antenna technology, XM and Sirius are able to offer their listeners a wide range of antennas, accessories and flexible installation options.

So the question: Which satellite radio antenna do I need? Although taste can play a small part in choosing the right antenna, the decision largely depends on whether you want to listen to satellite radio in your vehicle, on your boat, at home or indeed anywhere! One thing you can be sure of is that all satellite radio antennas available today are neither too cumbersome, nor impose limitations on your vehicle, boat or homes aesthetics.
