Is anyone using different FM or AM Antenna's then what came with the 990? The FM wire hooked up to the coax get good reception, but what suggestions do you have?

sirius?honestly,i don't own a 990,or do i listen to fm radio... :p ..1050 all the way!!!

I use an old (15 years),cheap Radio Shack outdoor antenna hooked up (coax adapter) to the 990; works great for FM!!

I am also looking for a good indoor fm antenna. My reception is ok using the supplied t-antenna that came with my 950 but I have to move it around when switching stations. Some stations work better when the antenna is stretched vertically while others work better in the horiztonal position.

I tried both passive and powered indoor antennas from terk and the reception was worse than the t-antenna. There was actually more hiss with these antennas.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your suggestions. So after doing a lot of research for a good indoor FM antenna with some confusion, I decided to go to a local Radio Shack and take a chance with a with a standard TV/FM antenna. I had tried all the Terk models previously and none worked. So I bought the $20 model from RS that came with rabbit ears, a triangular UHF antenna and an adjustable attenuator. I placed the antenna behind and on the same shelf of my projection TV so it wouldn't be visible from my seating position, extended the rabbit ears out fully and straight up.

Well, low and behold, this model actually works. I received all my programmed stations on my 950 without any static or lose of signal. I didn't need to adjust the rabbit ears or the attenuator either.

It goes to show you that we sometimes look too deeply into buying equipment to make our systems better and find out the simpliest and basic items work fine.
