They must have several satellites then as the arc of any one antenna's reception ability would be limited to the point where the satellite fell below the viewing horizon. Thanks for your info, I guess that parking lot must truly be getting a bit crowded so just as when searching for a parking space in a busy city sometimes the only solution is to keep rotating round the block. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Will Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Actually the Sirius satellites move across the sky in non geo-stationary locations, lower than the geo-stationary XM satellites. This means that an outside location where the antenna can see most of the sky is the preferred location to mount the Sirius antenna.
