I'm planning to install my XM antenna outdoors under the eve to my
house. I've tested reception from this location and it appears to be
fine. To route the cable will take will run close the outdoor AC unit
and in close to where the power enters the home. Will either of these
cause interferance?

When you say "close", are we talking millimeters or inches? Unless it is
millimeters, I would say absolutely not. Even if you're talking
millimeters, probably not.

No as the antenna coax is shielded.....if its a quality coax. If its like
the power cord to
some XM receivers it may LEAK LOL! and no amount of ferrite beads would
help!
