Has anyone hooked satellite radio to their system?


A long time friend who is into Video who's HT system is budget-fi by our standards (receivers, mass market integrated, etc), bought one those new satellite car radios. He loves it. He just bought an adapter so he can use it in the house. Has anyone tried hooking one of these to their high-end system? What do you think compared to your super tuner?

Yes, using a RCA DD DTV Sat system using the opt dig out into a Monarchy Audio SuperDrive Dip and out using a Kimber D-60 BNC/RCA dig cable into the Dac. Listen to the Satellite Music Channels while I work on the puter. Also have a good tuner for FM and enjoy the sound and commerical free broadcasting using the Dig out from the Sat receiver better than the "supertuner". It depends on how compressed the dig signal is being received and broadcasting equipment being used to broadcast the dig signal. All equal, the dig Sat sound is CD quality and close to the quality of sound from my CD system and commerical free giving plenty of different geners choices of music to enjoy. I like it and find it very convienient and enjoyable while working and not having to be interupted. Also another kool feature is having the ability of viewing the software being broadcasted on a moniter(TV). Helps in identifing the album(CD), title, artist, song. Helps in building a music collection. Is this another blow for analog!!
