It's possible, if you have repeaters nearby, but don't count on it. The best way to listen(maybe not sound wise, but best chance of constant/flawless reception) to Sirius/XM indoors is through a online streaming account.


Not trying to deter you from trying. I have found it in my own personal experience, that using an XM antenna indoors(birds are fixed in one position towards the South/SouthEast) is much easier than trying to find the Sirius birds, which are in constant figure 8 motion over the USA(I know both birds move).


I was able to get my XM signal(this is going back 5 years ago. I have had Sirius since then) using my indoor antenna pointed at the corner of a wall towards the South/Southeast nowhere near a window, and I would get 3 bars for full strength(on an Old SkyFi).


Weird.

Without repeaters near by, I have zero reception at work.

I've tried many ways, but no luck. Our company also has policy against streaming at work. So I got a portable and I record over night for next day listening. That's about the best I can do.


If you have a friend with a window office near by, you could put your radio in his office and use a CCrane FM transmitter and listen in your office.
