Upgrade my MD 102 Tuner?

Have a MD 102 FM Analog tuner. FM reception is fair, but not great where I live. Was considering MD's upgrade program, and trading in the 102 for the MD 801 Internet tuner. Has anyone done this or otherwise used the 801? Thanks for the help.

I would like to own a MD tuner someday. Does your 102 have the XM radio feature? Do you use an indoor/outdoor external antenna for reception?
Thanks for any advice on these products.

Happy Listening!

You say reception is "fair." What kind of antenna are you using? The choice of antenna is as critical as your choice of tuner.

I can't use an outdoor antenna. A powered antenna doesn't work too well, either. So, it's just a standard, 75 ohm indoor antenna. The unit does not have the XM radio feature ... quite frankly, I wish there were some kind of module I could hook up to the MD 102 to play internet radio through it. Unfortunately, I have not yet found such a thing.
