I got the name wrong earlier; sorry for the confusion.

Garcianc2003, you'd be the one that can try if you'd like.

Take the MONO wire you have going directly from the Xantech OUTPUT port, that leads to the Satellite Tuner, and plug it into the OUTPUT port of the 970. (ie, 970 OUT <-> Satellite IN)

This will tell you (and us) if a PASSIVE output can drive an input that normally expects a POWERED signal.
