I used my XM radio from the garage and from the living room with no reception problems. I had a base station and antenna in those rooms and moved the radio as needed. The radio played through the sound systems in those rooms.
I'm curious to hear your reference to concrete blocks because I pointed the antenna UP - pointed through the ceiling and roof. Although my house is wood frame, I don't think the walls are a factor.
By the way, I recently added an Internet Radio subscription, and canceled the traditional radio subscription. I now receive SiriusXM on my smart phone and move it from the garage to the living room, as well as my car. I can also listen on my laptop. This offers me greater flexibility and I don't have to point an antenna towards an XM satellite.
