Effective Tuesday, February 9, DirecTV will be replacing the XM Satellite Radio music channels currently in the 800s channel range with a new, commercial-free music service from SonicTap. The music channel lineup will remain largely unchanged, so your favorite music formats will remain on the channels that you are already used to finding them on. In addition, DirecTV will be adding 19 new unique music channels to the lineup with the change to SonicTap. You can get the full details on the new channels and a revised listing on the DirecTV website.

As always, if you need any assistance or have questions about the change as it relates to your SoundVision system, feel free to call our office at (415) 456-7000.
