XM Radio Digital ??

I have connected my XM Radio to the Aux Input of my Outlaw receiver with RCA cables and it works fine, so I thought I would get a digital cable. One end to the XM radio is Mini plug, the other end to my Outlaw Receiver is a Optical Connector but I could not get any sound, even though I tried the digital selector switch. Below is the Monster cable I am trying to connect. any suggestions on why this is not working??

The signal that comes from the satellite to your receiver is digital, but the output from the unit has been converted to analog, I would think. That probably is why a digital cable is not working for you.
