[Electronics-talk] question about Sirius XM Internet Radio

Tue Jan 3 01:31:19 UTC 2012

The receivers themselves are pretty accessible, I was asking 
about Internet radio.

Chris

Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year!

At that time, I was told it was.  I don't know about now.
The one thing I found annoying was, each time I signed in, I'd 
have to enter
the code of a captcha.  And since I had no one sighted around to 
read it to
me, That made me decide to forget it.  The verbal code never 
worked for me
either.
Again.  That was 3 years ago.  I haven't tried since so it may be 
different
now.
I have a friend that just got a sat radio for Christmas that is 
pretty
accessible.  I'll ask him what the model is and share.

 Hi Vince,

 So the app is accessible?

 I tried subscribing about 3 years ago and I had trouble getting 
it to work
 for me.  I was also disappointed when I found out that some 
shows weren't
 available online.  So I canceled and asked for a refund--which 
they said
 wasn't refundable.
 Hopefully they've changed.  I think most folks are using iPhones 
and other
 cellphones to listen to sat radio now.

 Chris, it's very nice to meet you.  Welcome to the list!
 I'm also interested in the question of XM on-line accessibility.

 I have never heard of Sirius XM Streamer, so I'd love to hear 
some
 comments
 on its accessibility.
 Again, welcome to the List, Chris -- and Happy New Year!
  John

 Hi everyone,

 First of all, I want to wish everyone on this list a very happy
 new year and say that I am new to this list! I'm 14 years old 
and
 am in 8th grade in public school here in Maryland.  You have
 probably seen me on other NFB lists, the NABS (National
 Association of Blind Students) or Blind Talk list, as I'm very
 active in the Federation.  With that said, I have a question
 about Sirius XM Internet radio and accessibility.  Has anyone
 found a work-around to using Sirius XM's online radio service
 with JAWS? It seems to be inaccessible to me, at least the one 
on
 siriusxm.com.  I have heard about a program called Sirius XM
 Streamer which makes the internet stream accessible.  But how
 does it work? Thanks for any help!

 Chris

 Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year!
