I tried it but I could not find a spot for the dish that was clear enough. The best I could do was 94% clear (tree branch occlusions) — this resulted in dropped connections every few seconds.
Canceled it.
For those curious: You need a clear 360 degree view of the sky. For me I would need a 200+ ft pole to clear the ponderosa pine trees.
I was an early adopter of satellite radio (Sirius) in the early 2000s. Was losing the signal constantly. Under overpasses, near leafy trees, tall buildings, hills. At home, I was constantly fussing with the antenna that snaked out my window and onto the porch roof.
I can't remember the last time I lost a Sirius/XM signal. Even in tunnels I pick it up. So the technology improves.
You only need a clear shot with about a 30 degree swing to get the signal, I have noticed my antenna only moves aout 10 degrees ever, it is due north for me at about a 45 degree angle up. Too bad you couldn’t make it work
