The XM Mini-Tuner is a small device that allows you to receive XM radio in your home. However, the device requires the use of an XM Ready receiver. To connect it to your computer, you must first connect the tuner to a stereo receiver or home theater system. You will then run the audio from the receiver to the computer.
