Directv music channel versus AM/FM Tuner ?

I'm sure most audiophiles use their seperate am/fm tuners to their system...

Are there any A'gon member did connect their Directv box to your pre-amp tuner inputs to use as your FM tuner that will goes to your whole audio system of course with free music from music channel and use directv remote as to change channel instead of fm station.If you decide to use directv music channel,then your music channel are very limited but non-stop of music from either the 40's,50's,60's,70's,80's,90's & etc...non-stop of music.

When my wife haa a bunco party, a dinner club get-together, or a purse party she asks me to put on the Sinatra channel. I think when it is a good song, it doesn't much matter what the source is.

I have two Scott tuners and they are light years ahead of any music channels.

My own first choice is my music library with over 4,000 songs, set to random play. Next comes streaming audio using my Slimdevices Transporter and then I will sometimes play music from Dish Network for convenience, as with dinner.

No tuners for me. As some others have said, I use the DTV XM Sat stuff for background music when I'm doing stuff around the house. Good for syncing upstairs/downstairs systems.

I will say that XM is a lot better via DirecTV than through a satellite radio either car or home style. I had the free trial in my Honda and music was bad and talk, done at an even lower sampling rate, was worse. I would have liked to have the variety but the sound is awful using a Sat radio. If the quality was as good as DirecTV I would still have it in the car. I emailed them asking about sampling rates they use for both and they said they could not release that info.....
