I'm so jazzed!! I just tried my Direct TV I am getting xm radio too. Now , my big question is how do I get digital out to my dac. My standard issue direct tv box has no digital out on the back. Thanks for the great post, I would never have looked otherwise.
XM Radio - Anyone Getting It Through DirectTV?
We moved a few months ago into a new and larger home. And long before the move I had my fill of the miserable picture provided by our cable TV service (Comcast). So we set up a DirectTV account and LOVE the service as well as the extra clean picture on every channel. (One of my main beefs with cable was the ghosting on at least two or three of the lowest channels on our cable system.)
A few weeks back we discovered the various XM channels that we get as part of our service package. My main question concerns the quality of the XM signal we are getting vs. that recieved by a dedicated XM satellite receiver. Is there any real difference? I can tell you that the classical channels on XM certainly have a LOT more enjoyable music than much of what our local classical station plays most weekday mornings.
