I've had luck using the mplayer plugin to get the XM satellite radio stream to work. Which satellite service are you trying to access? If it's XM, then it's definitely possible to get it to work with mplayer.

Hey everybody! I was trying to listen to my satellite radio internet stream at work, and I can't figure out how to force it to work (I use Ubuntu Edgy [6.10]). It's a Windows Media Audio stream, but the VLC player plugin has usually been able to handle those in the past. When I try to load their web-based player, though, the plugin displays the text 'no video', and firefox loads the 'additional plugins needed' bar - although it does not know what plugin to get (since obviously no WMP plugin for linux exists). It works fine in Firefox under Windows. I've tried it out in Konqueror and Opera, just for kicks, but it doesn't work there either (Opera yields a "BROWSER NOT SUPPORTED" in 32-pt boldface). Does anyone have any suggestions? - Justin Walker
