Quality of Sirius XM

I recently started streaming Sirius XM in my barroom. I’ve noticed sound quality differences between my Roon DB, Pandora, Sirius XM and a few other sources. The sound quality varies quite a bit. I just assume that Sirius XM is streaming at a compressed rate. Don’t know that to be true, though. Not sure if the satellite feed sound quality is different than what is streaming over the internet. 

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks in advance.

I have Sirius-XM hooked up to my main system.

It does not sound nearly as good as CD's. But it is useful for hearing things I don't own or haven't heard in years. If something really catches my attention, I buy the CD and enjoy it more.

FM is almost non-existent in my home. We live in a "bowl", surrounded by hills. I have an FM antenna that goes up into the attic and from one end of it to another. Still get very few stations I like without static.
