Why bother? The quality of XM on DirecTV is atrocious. And I mean truly bad, worse in a lot of cases than 128kb MP3. More like 64kb, if that. Internet radio sounds better. I use a Samsung box with toslink out into my Outlaw receiver, and I've tried directly out from the box to my Foreplay and either way into my tube amp. Neither sound any good.Every now and then I put it on, and invariably I turn it off after 10-15 minutes. The content is OK, but the sound just blows. Give me back the old MusicChoice feed they used to have. When they switched to XM I almost pulled the plug on DTV.
