Got one for the wife for christmas and had a hard time receiving signal
at home so tried it in the office today with no luck either. It does
work at home if you place the antenna 10' outside the house.

Anyone else having these issues? Have not tried it in the car yet but
have to believe as many of these things I see on other car's it must
work pretty good.

Works great in the car. System not designed for fixed locations.
They may launch a stationary satellite just for you.

Hell,that's what I meant.Those satellites are stationary in orbit.

They are not stationary, however they are in orbit so far above the planet that
they 'appear' to be stationary.

The height of the orbit has not much to do with it. It's the fact that
they are orbiting the planet at the same rate as it turns that makes all
the difference.

A tree outside my window has very little in the way of altitude but
remains apparently stationary. It's upper branches move around the
exterior of the planet at roughly 24 hours per complete revolution.

Any variation in the branches' time from that of the roots would be
cause for great concern.

Concerning Trees,being stationary or not.It all depends on the Wind
factor.Katrina was causing that big (at least seventy feet tall,or
taller) tall Pecan Tree in my front yard to dance around at Ground level
like a wild Indian on Camp Kickapoo joy juice.If I had a camcorder,I
would have taken a movie of that Dancing Pecan Tree.

The height of the orbit has EVERYTHING to do with it. The height of the orbit
is what causes the geosynchronicity. Arthur C. Clarke figured it out. His
first known mention of the subject indicates clearly that the height is of
the essence to the geostationary natu

"An 'artificial satellite' at the correct distance from the earth would
make one revolution every 24 hours, i.e., it would remain stationary
above the same spot and would be within optical range of nearly half
the earth's surface. Three repeater stations, 120 degrees apart in the
correct orbit, could give television and microwave coverage to the
entire planet." -- Clarke, letter to Wireless World, 1945
