Asked 3 years ago by Rob.

• A:Answer No. There is neither a built in SiriusXM tuner nor a SiriusXM streaming app. So, you would have to purchase a separate tuner or stream from your phone via Bluetooth, etc.

Q: QuestionI receive my local TV stations over antenna. I do not see a connection for a coax cable for doing so. Is this unit able to channel over-the-air broadcasts?

Asked 3 years ago by Hoozyerhootie.

• A:Answer You would not connect the antenna to the receiver. What you would do is set your system up with the TV as the center of your system. Connect the coax to the TV and then run a cable, such as optical or HDMI, outputting from your TV to an input on the receiver which will then output to your speakers. But remember that you will probably need to find the speaker setting on your TV and disable it or turn it off.
