Re: [Internetradio] SiriusXM Streaming

Thanks for this post, Dan. Did they say what the change to the protocol was/is? More and more, all that matters is mobile devices. The older standalone devices are increasingly litter on the digital highway. Sad reality. -- -Rob de Santos -Original Message- From: Internetradio

Re: [Internetradio] SiriusXM Streaming

I would add tablets to that mix, Rob...the same operating systems run both devices, so the technologists get extra bang for their investment. Plus they get to send us ads and other collateral material if they control the apps we use. I wonder what's unique about TuneIn's business model (if

No technical information about the changes was provided by SiriusXM in the email to customers. Now, when I try to access any channel via the Squeezebox a continuous loop plays indicating that that "If you're hearing this message then you have a device that will need an upgrade..." It encourages
