Probably a dumb question about listening to XM on PC

As much as I want to be able to view stuff recorded on my HR 20 on my PC I'm actually more interested in how I would set thing up so I can listen to the XM channels on my PC via the network while I'm working since my computer is in the basement. Is there a simple way of doing this?
