my dealer told me that this is "normal" and that there is not much they can do about it, because our shark fin is not an amplified antenna therefore when not in the open I could be subject to loosing my signal, WTF!!

no offense.... i cant belive you asked that question.....
Its satellite. Almost everything that uses satellites requires some kind of line of sight to the satellite(s). When you go under overpasses you will also loose signal. Like I said no offense but yea......

JD, I get it in my garage. I even got it in the mall parking garage on the bottom floor!
That's 5 floors (10 actually, because their double stacked) of concrete and steel. And I still get a signal.
But, I don't know why!

the reason I asked them to look into it was because..
I do not loose my signal completely, most stations come in fine some are a little harder to pull in, a couple do not get pulled. Never really have a problem anywhere else (including overpasses...), which led me to believe that the Sat antenna was indeed amplified.
I thought there might be something wrong with my antenna, and just wanted to hear other people's experience in order to confirm what I am being told by my serv dept.
