XM tuners/ receivers

First what kind of radio antenna do you have? That kind of makes all the difference in picking up stations. 

XM sucks, it has the worst audio quality, worst customer service, is totally unstable. Canceled my subscription last year. Weirdly, had a $300 XM charge on my CC, they renewed my subscription!! However, my XM radio does not work, but I'm paying for it? Another 45min on the phone with them trying to get my canceled subscription canceled again. Then they pro-rate it, as it took me a month to figure it out. I even told them, that my paid service is not working. Totally scam, and thieves! 

Anyway, if I "had" to do XM, the only way is really to stream it. It has the "best" sound quality, and is the most stable. Really would just do it through my current streamer. Would not purchase any XM component. 

You can also get a "streaming" service from them for $5 a month. If you are paying anymore, call and cancel, they will offer you the $5 a month. 

The antenna would be a good quality outside unit. I have used one before. I just dont want one on the front of my house where it would need to be. I have a Sirius subscription now in my car. I can get a dock for in my house to stream it which I think I'll do....

you are best served by upgrading to a digital tuner like a bluensound node product

you will get full internet radio, xm radio Spotify and tidal and qobuz

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 :-)
