Sirus XM Radio


Was thinking of adding a XM Radio receiver to my system just wondering if anyone has tried this or has it and how is it is working out. Just worried about the quality of the sound not a fan of mp3? Also the units on there web site don’t look very SOTA. Any feedback would be welcomed.

My last car came with a 90 day free trial and I get Sirius XM through my Dish Network subscription.  The sound quality of both was not very good.  A good FM broadcast sounded better, and there are spots near my house where the Sirius broadcast would drop out. 

I'm running the signal from Dish through my Marantz AV7705 and the sound quality is not very good.  That could be a limitation of the Dish box, but I've watched live concert recordings and other music that came through the satellite box that sounds better. 

I like classic rock and there is a decent selection of music.  There are "DJ's" on the stations that I find annoying.  Even though I get it for "free" with my Dish subscription I almost never listen to it. 

I think a person's money would be better spent getting a streamer and a subscription to Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, etc.  Unless there's specific content that you want on Sirius or are a casual music listener (sound quality doesn't matter much), I don't think it's worth the price of entry.
