XM Radio has two channels, XM Pops (866) and Fine Tuning (855), that are broadcasting in 5.1 surround to its members. I do not believe that Directv is transmitting the 5.1 signal since my Denon 3802 does not recognize a 5.1 signal. Can anyone confirm this and is there any chance that we could get this in the future. If not, that is too bad because they play music recorded to DVD-Audio and SACD.

Hrmm, I have an XM radio, so, the question is, how do I output digital sound from it? Its a myfi delphi, and I only have an analog jack out of it. Cool though if they are broadcasting in 5.1. Any links?
In the latest edition of Sound and Vision magazine they have a whole article of how XM transmits their 5.1. They use some new type of encoding method so you'll have to buy a new audio tuner that has the ability to decode it.
Very cool, I'll make sure to pick that up. Thanks for the heads up.
PLEASE LOG IN TO GET RID OF THESE ADS!
They should have used a format that wouldn't have forced users to need new A/V units.
