Polk Audio XM Radio Reciever A Winner

Is the antenna compatible with the Delphi? I just bought a 50' extension for it.

Maineiac,

I was wondering the same thing about the antenna. From the looks of it in pictures I've seen, the extension looks the same. I'll post to let you know as soon as mine arrives. To my chagrin, my unit has been backordered and was supposed to come in last Friday. I haven't gotten a shipping confirmation yet:(

The antenna is the same as the Delphi, just a longer length. I got mine from Crutchfield a few days ago, $299 free shipping no sales tax. Much better sounding then the Delphi, if you have a highend system. If you like XM you will love this new tuner. My only complaint is why did it take so long !!

Just got my Polk xm today and was wondering if the antenna works from inside the room not near the window or does it have to be right at the window for it to work properly? Another question, has anyone one used a D/A with the polk and what were your impressions between the two?

You will need to have the antenna pointed out of a window, or possibly an outside wall. It will depend on the construction material of the wall and anything outside in the line of sight to the satellite. I have vinyl siding and I'm able to get reception through the outside wall; even with a woods behind my house. The reception is better (3 bars on the Delphi) in the winter when the trees are bare. The antenna needs to point toward the southern horizon at about 30 degrees above the horizon. Where I live in Wisconsin the antenna should be aimed slightly south southeast. The deviation from direct south will depend on your geographic location.

:-( Still waiting for my Polk receiver to arrive :-(
