Actually, that special XM antenna is basically a receiver. XM's not selling those anymore (preferring the regular antenna + dock + XM Passport combination). All the recevier does is provide the necessary control (serial port) and display, while the XM Passport does all the hard work of acquiring and decoding the audio.

I'm surprised they haven't started integrating HD radio into their receivers. A bunch of Onkyo receivers already have built-in XM radio support (they just require a special antenna).

If they included the hardware for slacker satellite, I'd be sold.
