Does this mean that I cant use ANY online streaming programs? I have UXM to stream to my ROKU and a windows vista side bar app to listen on my desktop and also a program on my Windows mobile Treo 800W. Are all of these going to go away. If this happens, I might cancel everything.. One of the reasons I wanted ONLINE streaming was to listen to it more places then just XM Satellite Radio - America's #1 Satellite Radio Service ....

What is going on?

i have not seen any info myself that they got a letter from siriusXM. one thing i seen is they decided to stop because there iphone app was rejected by apple. the news says they ran out of money

siriusly, do you think dave from geekstoolbox would pull the plug on starplayr just because the iphone app got rejected? what about starplayr for windows, windows mobile....there was a high enough demand for them even before they apple rejected the iphone app. i'm pretty sure once sirius caught wind that they were charging for starplayr that's when sirius put the hammer to it.

Compete on features...as do many for-pay services and applications competing with free alternatives.

Whether the market is big enough is the question, of course. And if SiriusXM gave them a cease and desist, it's moot.

I hope someone else comes up with a good app.

There is a program that will do it, and do it well too! It's a pay program however.
Record Internet Radio, Video & More with Replay AV
Enjoy

On another note, what's to stop the starplayr folks from just releasing the code to the public, I'm sure someone else will make something happen

I never like the win app. No song seek like Siriusly or Stream_On has.

I worked with Jason Millard as a beta tester when he put out the original uSirius and uXM applications up 3 or so years ago for streaming via the TVersity project. Just checked his website and he has pulled both apps. I still have both apps running even as I type. I guess time will tell (i.e. 3/11) when streaming goes PPV. I do pay for premium for my SL100 so I assume uSirius will work but no clue about uXM after tomorrow. StarPlayr is still working but I'm sure the plug will be pulled as this app was hosted through their website - only time will tell...

So does anyone know if UXM is still going to work? I need this app to stream radio to my ROKU internet radio device.

I am currently using a vista sidebar XM player and its still working...

anyone know whats going ot happen??

From what I can gather on other sites XM online will work until your current sub is up - monthly, quarterly etc. You won't get the 128 stream which is having "tech diffucultes" right now unless you pay $2.99 per month like Sirius. Either way my uXM is still working at 64k...On it goes...
