Satellite Antenna Installation

ok I have a 2007 honda civic ex that is xm ready I brought the antenna where and how do I install it to my radio in my civic that is xm ready without it looking amateur

You can't just buy the antenna, you need to have the satellite radio tuner as well. The factory stereo is indeed XM ready, but you have to get Honda's XM tuner kit. You can get it from your dealer and they'll probably want to install it. Each dealer can set their own prices for parts but the retail cost is $295. This Honda dealership online sells it for $231.60. You might be able to get it for less since you don't need the antenna, just the harness and tuner.

As for installing the antenna, on my Fit S, I put the antenna in the rear drivers side corner and run the coax in through the hatch, but in my other car I put the antenna as far back as possible, then run the coax between the moulding and the glass of the rear window. It goes around the glass into a gap between two metal panels and into the trunk. I run it underneath the carpet or between the plastic moulding by the doors and the carpet until I get to the front and then take it behind the dash under the steering wheel back into the radio. That's for an aftermarket radio. I'm not sure where they mount the XM ready tuner in the Civic, it could be in the trunk and that'd save you a lot of headache!

I'm looking for a professional installation of a Directv antenna on my 3 story home in San Jose, CA. Other authorized directv installers have told me that they won't walk on tile roofs and also their 40ft ladder would cause damage to my rain gutters. I need help!!!!

There are some who will install in the attic or in a utility room where no one can see it, just an option for you to think about.

I have a two dual-receivers four room set-up for my Dish Network satellite antenna set-up. I would like to add a fifth room (and possibly a sixth) to this set-up, but I don't want to pay for installation. I'm willing, though, to pay for a new receiver, so is there a way to do this? Is there an online reference to look at, or do one of you have experience doing this? Your help would be appreciated!

It is my understanding that Dish does not support any more than 4 active tuners per dish. I suppose you could get another dish, but to have one or two more active TVs, you'd need another receiver, which requires installation. You could splice the signal from TV2 from each of your receivers, giving you two more TVs that you could then control with the TV2 remote (with the UHF signal). The TV1 signal relies on the infared signal from its remote to manage it, requiring you to be in the same room as the receiver to change channels.

Let me know if you need any help.
