Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - * Great product ...
After connecting the antenna to my satellite radio the signal strength went from three boxes to ten boxes. No more "aquiring signal" screens for me!


Buyer's feedback: 2 out of 5 stars - a slight improvement
I live in a third story apartment, luckily facing east, but unfortunatly I have 2 problems: 1) I cannot install the antenna on the roof, and 2, there are three large trees outside my window. So, I'm still getting signal loss. it is better than the antenna included though.

if you live in an area with a lot of trees, and you cant access your roof, dont bother getting satallite radio.




Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - * Very Good Antenna ...
I bought this antenna so that I could listen to Sirius at home as I have a PNP receiver that only came with a car antenna. Due to the construction of my house I can only get a signal if I have the antenna mounted outside, but it gives me a clear and strong signal throughout the day and night. I would recommend this to anyone with Sirius who needs an antenna at home. I would also recommend buying from Amazon as they have the best price anywhere for the SIR6, especially with free shipping. They are easily $20-$30 cheaper than other sites.
Hope this helps.


Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - Does it deliver?
Simply - it does. This antenna seems to be a bit costly (the only reason why I did not give it 5 stars). I purchased this because I got tired of hearing the signal go out. I have three radios (one in my vehicle and two in my house). The only time I've had issues with losing signal has been in the house. The Terk SIR6 was purchased with intentions of mounting it on my rain gutter system. I plugged it in inside to see how it would work. INSIDE I got such increased reception I chose to forgo spending the time installing it outside. As other reviews mentioned, this antenna really does pull a much better (stronger and more reliable) signal than any of the home antennas provided with the radios. Who would've thought? It is too bad this antenna doesn't come with the radio. If you've already committed to the monthly service of Sirius, you might as well get this antenna to get uninterrupted audio.


Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - * Great Satellite Radio Antenna Alternative ...
I bought this outdoor antenna for use with my Sirius SR550 Home Unit and DBS combiner/splitter and couldn't be happier with its performance. It installed easily on top of my patio cover in about 15 minutes with all the necessary hardware included. Because I already have DirecTV, I used the Terk antenna in conjunction with the DBS combiner/splitter so I could run the satellite radio antenna with my satellite TV cable.

The Terk outdoor antenna has plenty of "joints" to move it in virtually any direction you want, so setup was also very easy. Loosen a few screws, move it so the antenna "faces" the appropriate direction, and tighten the screws. The antenna cable connection has a weatherproof cover so no worries about anything happening to the connection. Once I got it hooked up, I turned on my satellite radio and got a full signal right from the start. In fact, only sometimes do I lose the signal for a brief moment as the antenna "locks" into the satellite when I first turn the unit on, but after about 5 or 10 seconds, I never have a dropped signal.

Overall, this product is well constructed, easy to install, and works great. I would highly recommend it over the antennas that come with either the home units or home kits for PnP Sat radios.

Holiday electronics sales strong, says SIA

Sales of semiconductors in November indicate that consumer products such as LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs, digital music players, and other devices sold well during the holidays, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) said Monday.

November chip sales rose 2.3 percent year-on-year to $23.1 billion, the SIA said.

Unit demand has far outpaced last year. But falling chip prices have hurt industry revenue, the chip association said. For example, DRAM (dynamic RAM) bit shipments grew 25 percent in the three months through mid-December, but average selling prices have declined 20 percent over the same period.

The association also noted that rising energy prices and concerns about the sub-prime lending issue in the U.S. do not appear to have had a significant impact on consumer spending for the holidays, the SIA said. The group reiterated its forecast that worldwide semiconductor sales will reach a new record in 2007. But it will take a stronger than expected December selling season to reach the 3.8 percent growth goal the group had forecast earlier this year, the SIA said.

Investment banking firm Credit Suisse was not as optimistic as the SIA.

The November data was below normal seasonal trends, noted analyst John Pitzer, in a report on Monday. Even if December reaches its normal seasonal growth, 2007 industry revenue will only reach $255.7 billion, up 3.2 percent over last year. The growth percentage would fall short of the SIA's 3.8 percent target.

The slow November prompted Credit Suisse to lower its 2008 chip industry revenue forecast to 9.4 percent year-on-year growth, down from a previous target of 13 percent.

Oldboy [Blu-ray]
$23.95



In the realm of revenge thrillers, you'd be hard pressed to find more ultra-violent vengeance and psycho thrills than in the creepy story of Oldboy. This Korean import made a pop splash at the Cannes Film Festival and during its limited theatrical run thanks to the imprimatur of Quentin Tarantino, who raved about it and its visionary director, Chan-wook Park, to anyone who would listen. It's easy to see why QT fell in love with the grindhouse attitude, fast-paced action, violent imagery, and icy-black humor, but it's a disservice to think of Oldboy as another Tarantino homage or knockoff. The darkly existential undercurrent in the themes that Oldboy traces over its life-long narrative arc is much more complex and deeply disturbing than anything of its kind. The movie's tagline is, "15 years of imprisonment... 5 days of vengeance." The imprisonee is Oh Dae-Su, an ordinary Joe who is snatched off a Seoul street corner and locked away in a dank, windowless fleabag hotel room for the aforementioned 15 years. Just as abruptly he is released, and thus the five days begin. Why did this happen to Oh Dae-Su? Ah, but that would be telling, and in fact we don't know ourselves until the final wrenching scenes.

Oldboy breaks into a classic three-act saga, the first of which details the hallucinatory period of imprisonment in which Oh Dae-Su wades from mild insanity to outright psychosis in the hands of unseen yet attentive captors. Act 2 is the revenge, when an entirely different tone takes over and Oh Dae-Su moves with single-minded purpose and clarity. It's this section that has gained the most notoriety, primarily for the claw-hammer dentistry scene, the one-man-army tracking shot, and the wriggling octopus that Oh Dae-Su consumes in a sushi bar (he's been dead so long he simply needs life back inside him in any way possible). In act 3, answers finally start to emerge and the sinister atmosphere grows even more profound--not without a healthy dose of extra bloodletting, of course. Oldboy is an undeniably poetic masterpiece of tension, fury, and dynamic craft. Ultimately, its epic cycle of tragedy is of the sort that mankind has been inflicting upon itself for all time. Some of the images may be gruesome, but all converge into a kind of beauty. It's in the telling of this lurid tale that these details become one and the memories of pain ultimately heal. --Ted Fry
3 Ninjas
$9.99



A slightly better movie than you might think, this variation on The Karate Kid finds three youngsters helping out their grandfather in his fight against evil ninja warriors. The real secret weapon here is director Jon Turtletaub, paying some dues on this 1992 family feature; he's since gone on to direct John Travolta in Phenomenon and Sandra Bullock in While You Were Sleeping. --Tom Keogh
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
$16.99



Before he made the notorious cult hit Oldboy, South Korean director Chan-wook Park created Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, an equally gruesome yet elegant meditation on revenge. Desperate to get a kidney transplant for his dying sister, a deaf and dumb young man named Ryu (Ha-kyun Shin, Save the Green Planet!) kidnaps the daughter of a wealthy industrialist named Park (Kang-ho Song, Shiri). Despite Ryu's best intentions, things go horribly awry, setting in motion a series of escalating revenges--to describe the plot in more detail would undercut the movie, because much of its power comes from the spare and skillful storytelling. Chan-wook Park is careful to ground the audience in the characters' emotional lives; when the violence begins, the bloody events unfold with the hypnotic power of the revenge tragedies of the Shakespearean era, which had over-the-top plots and littered the stage with bodies, yet were full of rich poetry. Park's eye for startling images and careful editing creates a visual poetry, grotesque yet often haunting. Certainly not a film for everyone--squeamish viewers had best beware, while anyone who wants their violence flagrant and guilt-free will be disappointed--but cinephiles looking to have their hearts squeezed along with their stomachs will enjoy Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. --Bret Fetzer
