No, Bob, you do not have to have a receiver in order to subscribe online. I used it a lot online for quite a while. Have not gone to that site for a while, though. I do not have a receiver.

Subject: Re: [ATI] Satelite Radio Because of the problems with reception in my apartment, I have signed up with their online service, which actually offers more channels, but I don't know if you have to have the receiver, in other words, if you can get the subscription without having purchased the receiver. That doesn't apply to us, as we also have the service in our car. ----- Original Message ----- From: R. E.

About a year back the reception began to get irregular. As I recall this occurred at about the time that they raised the rates and joined up with another firm. After some discussions with them I cancelled my subscription and went back to our local KERA station in Dallas. Not as much selection but good signal strength.

I have been an xm subscriber for several years and have had reasonably good reception with the antenna in my home office, even though there is no south facing window. At times the reception was intermittent but it has worked fairly well most of the time. However. for the past few months, my reception has been terrible. Some days, good reception, but most days no signal at all or a signal so poor that I can't listen to it. Nothing has changed in the environment as far as I can tell. I have talked several times with the tech people and none of their suggestions has helped. I have tried different locations for the antenna with no success and also exchanged the units a couple of times. It did work for a while in the bedroom in a south facing window but I don't want to use it there. So have any of you had more problems than usual with the signal lately? Have any of you tried mounting the antenna outside or if so, did it make a difference. As much as I like the programming, I am about to give up on it and cancel the service since I am certainly not getting what I am paying for.
