Is there All-In-One SiriusXM Radio ??????

[Shayna23]

Does anyone make a SELF-CONTAINED radio for Sirius/XM ?? Just ONE unit, not something I have to find speakers for ("ooh, simply spend a weekend trying to figure out how to wires to your 'home theater's speaker system'"

I read that Sirius makes something called a "tabletop" radio, but that's just a big ol' glorified streaming internet Box, so you aren't even getting it via a satellite, you get it through your internet connection.

All the other small units look like they're made for vehicles only! A bunch of wires and crap hangin' out the back.

For Goddsakes, do they make just a simple all-in-one self contained radio? Plug it in, and Voila, I can hear Art Bell?

Thank you!!

The problem is the antenna for satellite radio, indoors reception gets blocked easily you can't just move around with a portable unit due to a fixed antenna to outside needed.
Thats why its mostly for cars since they install a fixed small antenna outside with wire going inside to the receiver.
In other locations a wifi internet device is easier to use with the appropriate app, for a small portable unit get a cheap 7" android tablet.

No.  They used to offer the Tivoli (http://www.amazon.com/Tivoli-Model-Satellite-Table-Sirius/dp/B0007R6L8G), but since the advent of their internet radio offering (missing a few things, but with higher bandwidth and no need to locate and wire an antenna with line-of-sight), there's no compelling reason for them to do so.

If you get Sirius all access and a portable Lynx radio then you can listen to Sirius live on your computer, in your car and also take the portable Lynx from the car and listen anywhere to recorded Sirius.  So you can listen to ART and any other programs live on your computer and your car--and additionally record them with the Lynx and listen to ART anywhere.  So in this way you have 3 options to listen to Art.

I think I may do this--Now have to see what best price I can get for Sirius all access and for the Lynx.
