I got Sirius Satellite Radio installed in my car on Monday at Circuit
City. The guy working in the garage told me that, instead of mounting
the antenna on the roof of the car, he was going to mount it on the
dashboard. He told me that by doing so, he was doing me a favor
because if he mounted the antenna on the roof, it would rip off the
paint if I ever wanted to remove it, and that you get the same
reception with it mounted on the dashboard anyway.

Since Monday, I've noticed that the signal has been less than stellar
in many parts of town. I'm getting a lot of mild static, which is
especially noticable on the talk stations. I've tried playing with
the frequencies to no avail.

I'm wondering if the Circuit City technician was feeding me a line of
BS in order to save himself some work. Can anyone offer any advice or
information on this? Never having had satellite radio in my car
before, I don't have anything to compare the signal to, in order to
know if this is how it should sound or not.

Thanks.
