Sure, you can navigate to a station, but when you're in the player, Voiceover doesn't work. Secondly, I certainly wouldn't unsubscribe your radio receiver because if you want to listen to it longer than 90 minutes, you'll need to be constantly at your iPhone to start it up again because it times out every 90 minutes. That was my biggest turn-off with the app and I like to sleep with the radio on and when I had the app, it would always kick me off after 90 minutes.

Hi Robert!

Re: Sirius and XM radio apps
If you want to listen to Sirius/XM on your phone, I highly recommend musicdock as it is very accessible where as the Sirius/XM app,in my opinion, is not accessible. With musicdock, you will need an online subscription to Sirius/XM.

Sure, you can navigate to a station, but when you're in the player, Voiceover doesn't work. Secondly, I certainly wouldn't unsubscribe your radio receiver because if you want to listen to it longer than 90 minutes, you'll need to be constantly at your iPhone to start it up again because it times out every 90 minutes. That was my biggest turn-off with the app and I like to sleep with the radio on and when I had the app, it would always kick me off after 90 minutes.

Re: Sirius and XM radio apps
Hello All, I called Serius xm this morning, because I would like to sign up for an account so that I can use the app on my i phone. They told me that in order to use the app, I have to purchase a satellite radio. I am wondering why this might be, as the rep could not tell me, she just said it was necessary to use the app. If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate it.

RE: Sirius and XM radio apps
There are slightly different channels for the satellite radio than there are for the Internet account.

Sure, you can navigate to a station, but when you're in the player, Voiceover doesn't work. Secondly, I certainly wouldn't unsubscribe your radio receiver because if you want to listen to it longer than 90 minutes, you'll need to be constantly at your iPhone to start it up again because it times out every 90 minutes. That was my biggest turn-off with the app and I like to sleep with the radio on and when I had the app, it would always kick me off after 90 minutes.

Re: Sirius and XM radio apps
Hi. Ok, maybe I was overexaggerating about how the app was inaccessible. Yes, the app may need some improvements, and like I said, the 90 minute timeout is annoying, but I guess it can be usable. Debbie, I did try Music Dock when I had an online subscription but it wouldn't log me in with my user information. That's because, and I found this out from the Mac list, Sirius XM has blocked other apps from using their services outside the US so that's why I couldn't use it because I'm from Canada. Also, yes it's true that you can't subscribe for online use without a receiver. Also, if you don't have at least a reloadable pre-payed credit card you won't be able to subscribe. I've been in your shoes before Robert and that's what Sirius Canada told me. -- Shawn Sent from my white MacBook using SamNet -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Sirius and XM radio apps
Hi there. It wasn't so bad years ago, but now Sirius is about $225 a year. I think they inconveniently billed me for this next year early. I'm hoping they still let you cancel and get the refund for the unused months. Maybe I'm stuck with January, but I remember my cycle used to be the first of the month. - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2012 1:10 PM Subject: RE: Sirius and XM radio apps Hi Jim, I used to have a Sirius subscription in Canada, but got rid of it a couple of years ago since in my opinion there are free services out there (e.g. www.181.fm) which offer at least as good of a choice and satellite radio only makes sense to me if you are using it in a vehicle. If you want to spend money and mainly use it at home or on your iPhone via the internet I think services like Rdio, Spotify etc. make more sense since you can at least listen to specific artists and albums. Anyhow, there have been many posts about Sirius and XM on the list, I do remember from glancing at them that it appears the app is not really that accessible, but since Sirius and XM are unique enough words you will probably easily find good information by searching the archives for those words. I also assume that since the service costs money that the app is free which means that if you are still subscribe you have nothing to loose by simply downloading the app and giving it a try.
