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!

Nice tuner. I love the look of vintage Sansui tuners.

Speaking of which, at an audio show the Mofi SourcePoint8 were driven by a vintage Sansui 9090 DB receiver which I thought was gorgeous - stared admiringly for awhile. Been conflicted about whether to acquire - sonics doesn’t measure up to my current audio chain, would I be spending just for looks? Based on the past, sometimes self rationalization trumps common sense much to the detriment of my wallet.
