I live between two mtns. I have had my XM for over yr with no problem until last Fall. I purchased a 50 ft cable ext kit with amplifier so that I could move the antenna outside. I am quite confused because the kit says that the satellite is S to SE in the sky; however, my antenna seems to work best S to SW. Can anyone explain this?
I am not good with electronics and it is obvious that I don't know what I am doing. I have tried S to SE but can't get anything in that direction. At S to SW, I get programming 75% of the time. The problem could be interference; it appears that my antenna is pointed directly into the mtn! It is pointing that low.
Another question: is there a gadget that one can buy to help find/lock onto the satellite?
Thanks
