I tried both to exactly the same effect. As far as I can tell the biggest difference is that you are listening in the US and I live in Germany. A while ago the Sirius app for Squeezebox radio has been updated and at first the developer forgot to tweak some part of it to enable it to work in Europe also. He then fixed that and since then everything worked fine. Im assuming some changes must have been made again in these past few days (maybe by Sirius) that affect listening with the Squeezebox app in Europe without a problem. I hope this gets fixed otherwise I can only listen on the Sirius iphone app or on my laptop.
FWIW: the only change in our Sirius implementation which happened in the past 3.5 years was a change to the SSL configuration. That was no functional change.
Streams from music services usually go to the player directly, without mysb.com being involved. If you were using LMS you could try to enable its proxied streaming option which would send the audio stream through LMS. This often improves streaming when there are minor networking issues between your player and the streaming server.
Please keep in mind that SiriusXM is a US only service. It's very possible that they don't have optimized _global_ infrastructure. The fact that it might be working ok on your smartphone might be thanks to its bigger memory (and thus bigger buffers).
