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.

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.

Easiest way is to get an FM Transmitter. Run your signal to it and let it broadcast to your tuner.

I have a collection of tuners and several nice FM stations to listen to but I also enjoy Satelite radio so I bought a FMT to hook up to my Polk XM receiver. As I type, I'm listening to XM playing on my Marantz 20b.
