I see many CE's including XM ready receivers, what CE's have Sirius ready stereo receivers?

Thanks, Eddie

Here's 3 I know of:

Manufacturer: Sirius - See Site
SIRIUS Satellite Radio programming is so good, you''ll definitely want to listen at home. And the SR-H550 is one of the best ways to do it. This SIRIUS tuner connects to your home receiver, and blends in nicely with your other home audio/video components. It gives you great sound and lots of handy features that''ll enhance your enjoyment of everything SIRIUS has to offer.



Audiovox CE1000SR SIRIUS Radio Receiver

What better way to enjoy satellite radio at home than with the Audiovox CE1000SR SIRIUS home receiver! The 18 width conforms to most of today's home audio equipment, and using the CE1000SR is a snap with its large, easy to read 6-line display with scrolling text and wireless remote control. SIRIUS offers over 120 channels.



Tivoli Model Satellite SIRIUS Radio Receiver

Housed in an elegant cherry wood casing, with a touch of contemporary digital and classic analog design features, the Tivoli Audio Model Satellite Sirius/AM/FM table radio further extends the legacy of the late audio designer Henry Kloss. Based on Tivoli's Henry Kloss Model Two AM/FM table radio, the Model Satellite is Tivoli's outstanding foray into satellite radio.

I think the OP is talking about the Denon/Yamaha/ etc AVRs that have XM compatibility built in. Add the antenna and module and the AVR is an XM tuner with display capabilities etc.

I have never seen one from any manufacturer, so far that is Sirius ready. MAybe someday, now that the sub numbers are better.

Yeah, if thats what he's talking about you're right. I don't know of any AVR's that have Sirius built in.

Yes that is what I ment, thanks, Eddie

I've seen one and only one, it's made by RCA and not exactly of the same caliber as the Yamahas, Denons, Onkyos and Sonys.

If the receiver doesnt have anything built in for Sirius isnt there a docking station that can be hooked up to the receiver or is that not the same? Just curious because i have a new receiver on the way that is XM ready but I currently have a subscription to sirius for the portable sportster that goes in the car. Since my FM signal in the house is bad I was thinking i would just either bring in the unit from the car ad hook it up to the receiver or just buy an additional unit.
I think you need an antenna and docking station though.
Anyone doing this right now?

Ok I guess im wrong. didnt see any docking stations...just a tuner for around $250 that you can hook up to the receiver

John

No, you are right.
Go to Sirius web site(Circuit City also). You can buy the home docking station for about $50.
It has line level outputs for your recevier, an antenna. and power supply. I plan to do this very thing for my second P&P unit that is in our car.

What the home docking station doesn't give you that the XM ready units from Denon have is display capabilities of track, station etc. MAy not be a big deal, it isn't for me. I just drop my Starmate into the home dock and let it go. Don't care about the display.

Pioneer has them coming:

Personally I like the Sirius Conductor as with the LCD screen on the remote I can see what is playing and forward browse the channels from upstairs or when siting or standing where I can't see the receiver screen well.

Nuzzy,

I went to the Pioneer site and it appears that the Sat Tuner is an add on or a plug in.

Not sure why manufacturers have not seemlessly integrated XM/Sirius into exisiting AM/FM tuner amps.

OK - I could dream that if XM and Sirius merge that Pioneer will come out with a replacement SAT tuner that will work in this Pioneer Tuner but I won't hold my breath.

I'm pretty sure the Onkyo TX-SR605 has a port to integrate both Sirius and XM. That's what I'm getting.

minituner, that is the difference with XM and Sirius, the minituner gives more flexability to put the receiver in control.

Onkyo says they are Sirius ready.

You can check their site.

From the Sirius ready pop up:


Sirius Ready
SIRIUS brings access to over 130 digital-quality channels, including 69 channels of 100% commercial-free music, plus exclusive channels of sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic, weather and data. This model has a SIRIUS jack on its rear that connects to an optional SIRIUSConnect home tuner kit. This kit includes everything you need for easy home installation, including the SIRIUSConnect receiver, indoor/outdoor antenna with 21-foot cable, and an AC power adaptor. SIRIUS has three powerful satellites situated directly above the U.S., enabling coast-to-coast coverage with high elevation angles. With a “clear line of sight” to your home, your signal is unimpeded by buildings, trees or objects that might block conventional satellite signals.

I know this thread is old but hope it helps.

Some of Sony's AV receivers have both XM and Sirius options. Check Sony's website for specific models. It does seem that there are more XM ready receivers but that will change.

Pioneer receivers are both Sirius and XM ready which is a moot point now.

Denon's higher-end receivers can do Sirius now, too, with a recently-released upgrade package.
