Question Regarding Tuner And Satellite Radio

I sold my tuner(Yamaha T-1)last year becasue FM radio does nothing for me. I would much rather listen to cd's. Recently I got Direct TV which has Sirius Xm, I still prefer cd's but I am thinking about a tuner again for a change of pace. can a tuner be hooked up to my TV so I can hear the satellite radio through my audio system? What are my choices? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

can you run a wire from you DirecTV reciever to an external DAC? I do not know the proper terms but I imagine this could be possible. Otherwise I think you can buy a Sirius tuner...

I do like the jazz channel 850 on DirecTV and I miss 852 which was an electronic jazz channel they cancelled months ago

Just run a cable from the Direct TV audio out to your system.No need for a DAC,(can't figure out that comment).If you are wanting the entire SirriusXM package,you'll have to get a subscription and tuner.

Tpreaves - I just thought it may be possible (if the receiver had the correct output)and he could benefit from the upgrade in sound.

I should have mentioned that he could also just run an IC straight to the amp (like I do) and get mediocre sound
