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.

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

Philjojet, that is an interesting question. I wonder how one could seperate that digital signal from the signal feeding the pre-pro? A "Y" adapter maybe. Or maybe it would be better to upgrade the pre-pro to one with a better DAC? Something to investigate, at the very least.

Thanks for the responses. Looks like a regular tuner will not accept the Sirius signal? Or will running that one IC to my pre amp do the trick albeit with lousy sound?

A regular tuner will not pick up sat radio.Running the audio from your sat tv reciever will not produce critical listening sound,but it will be far from lousy.My opinion only,others may differ.

Tp. It would be background music as all my critical listening (when I can) is cd. Thanks.
