XM tuners/ receivers


I have a fairly vintage system,...  MR-78, Rogue Audio, Parasound, Marantz, dbx. I want to incorporate Satellite Radio into it, The MR-78 is a wonderful tuner, but because of my location , I have difficulty tuning the stations I want, even wth an external FM antenna.  I was thinking about an MR-88, which are becoming hard to find. 

Any recommendations on a similar tuner ..or...or is a simple XM receiver ok and can I put it thru my system using RCA Aux. jacks, etc?

 

Thanks!

If you have an internet connection, just get a popular and well reviewed streaming device like a Bluesound Node. Satellite radio sucks unless you are in a vehicle and need such a thing. Streaming services run from free to pretty cheap in every case and you can get better than CD quality sound in many cases. We regularly use the free services for streaming, and also have Amazon with HD. Very satisfied. I also have an FM antenna, but my god, radio sounds horrible after having streaming :-)
