The Sirius One is an inexpensive and convenient model of satellite radio that works well in your car. But, you can also connect your Sirius One Radio to work inside your home or other small space.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Sirius One Receiver
  • <br>Cables
  • <br>Home Kit
  1. Step 1

    Purchase what is known as a "home kit" for your radio. You will need extra parts to get your satellite radio receiver to play at home on your stereo tuner or by plugging it in.

  2. Step 2

    Visit your local Radio Shack or electronics store and inquire about models, upgrades and pricing of home kits. You can even look on auction websites. All of these places may carry an FM modulators you can hook up that would enable you to broadcast your signal on FM radio throughout your home. Tune your radio to an empty station either at the lowest or highest end of the radio dial and the receiver would have to be set to the same frequency.

  3. Step 3

    Alternatively, attach a cable (patch cord) in the back of the receiver directly to your stereo or portable boom box jacks in the back (or front) as the case may be. Attach it in the same way you would hook up other external electronic devices such as a television. The quality will not be great, as this particular model is not meant to be used this way, but it is suitable for smaller homes, businesses and apartments. Signal interference may occur, be patient. Again, you must use an FM radio to pick up the signal.
