Sirius connection problems?


Ok, I haven't called Sirius yet because I have a freakin pig head and I wanted to try to solve the problem myself. So far, I can say I got some reception today, in my car, in a certain area of a neighboring town. Nothing good enough to hold a song for the whole duration of it, but seconds here and there. Then poof, nothing. Now, there is something really strange happening when I bring it inside my home and put it on the home connector:

The sound system is on, for exemple on 107.5 and my Sirius unit frequency is also on 107.5. I have the FM antenna plugged in my unit, but no FM antenna plugged into my sound system (therefor I only get about 2 radio stations). If I hold the whole unit and base in my right hand, and touch the FM antenna of the Sirius unit with my LEFT hand, I get awsome reception (heck even if it touch my left ear, or any area of my body, BUT my right hand). If I let go of the FM antenna, or if I try to hold it in my right hand, I loose everything. I get better reception specially if I stand up rather than sitting. Explain that to me you smart geeks on here.

Am I right when I tell my husband that we need to get an antenna plugged in the sound system of the home to finally be able to get reception from the Sirius? He says it doesn't make a difference and we don't need it?!
