Does this mean that once I renew, I wont have the 32K or 64K streamng? I dont really care about the 128K.. I just want to be able to use UXM for my ROKU, the vista side bar thing I use to listen and FOOBAR2000 for listening at work.

Wow, Sirius may be about to loose me as a customer all together. What the hell is going on? It's starting to feel like they don't want to survive. The *only* way I can listen to Sirius during the day is to use uSirius / ORB from my iPhone since we are not allowed to stream via our work Network.

Remove this option, and you remove my need to maintain any kind of subscription to them... This isn't a threat, but a reality. I hope that uSirius continues to work, but based on what I see right now I am guessing once any changes are made to the online setup that breaks uSirius, that will be the end.

Sirius will be releasing an iPhone app (free) as of 2Q2009.

That's correct. No more "free" 32k stream. If you want free low bit rate streaming, you would have had to have locked into a lifetime or long-term subscription by 3/11.

Once your term is up, you'll need to pay $2.99/month for streaming, and you'll get the 128k high bit rate stream.

FWIW, I have not had any system difficulties using my premium streaming. It must be intermittent.

SO, Basically, I will have NO streaming once this happens. I use UXM to stream to my ROKU and some other apps on the desktop. If I cant use anything to stream XM to my ROKU and cant stram XM at work using my FOOBAR PLAYER and cant stream it on my WINDOWS MOBILE PHONE, I am prob. going to cancel. This is a deal breaker for me. WHO do I complain to? Who do I call? I think the 32K or 64K should be free and then extra for the higher stream. THats the way it WAS when I had sirius.. it was included at the lower rate and for the bight bit rate it was an extra charge.


Can anyone point us to where it SAYS no more 32K or 64K stream or anything except 128???

I bet there are LOADS of others who feel the way I do!

I think that if we dont want to pay for 128B we should get the 32Bit included!

WHO CARES about an IPHONE APP. I want to be able to STRREAM sirius to my ROKU, my WINDOWS MOBILE TREO PHONE and AT WORK AND HOME where I use FOOBAR and also a vista sidebar gadget.

$2.99/month once your subscription expires.

BUT will all my apps I currently use work? They all seem to work now with 31K (as it says when I look at the bit rate). for $2.99 a month will I still be able to use UXM and whatever I use on my treo WM and desktop???

I know when I bring out the Sirius player I can select the crappy (32k) stream if I desire.

Testing update on uSirius and uXM: Still working, but XM has jammed their stream down to 32k for good - the 64k stream is gone. Time will tell if they figure out how to break Jason's login sequence
