I would like to use Sirius and XM at the same time. I'm happy to subscribe to both but would like a receiver for my car (not built in -- one that plays through FM radio) and home for this...is there an instrument that I can use that will let me subscribe to both? Thanks. - Joan in Chicago

There's good news and bad news here. I could not find a portable unit that permitted subscriptions to both Satellite Radio services. (If there is one and I missed it, please let me know.)

But, there are many receivers designed for in-dash mounting that do provide the option for one or both.

As a matter of fact, there are quite a few. I've listed just some below if you'd like to compare features and prices using the free Pricegrabber comparison service.
