If you use my Sirius plugin instead of the 'official' plugin you do not
have to pay the extra $3/month... however the extra $3 gets you higher

Thanks for the correction. I don't have an XM account and I was under
the impression that that 3rd party plugin was at least
semi-unmaintained at this point. Sirius is now officially supported by
SD.

Now that XM and Sirius have merged, it would be great if Logitech could
provide official support for XM Radio. This would eliminate the need to
use Favorites to access XM Radio stations on the Squeezebox Controller.

It would be neat. But its not clear how long the merged XM/Sirius will
