Do you have a receiver? If so, you can just use that for games.

hi!
I agree but then the XM App for IPhone isn't very accessible or
convenient
to use and don't wish to be tied to my PC in order to listen to
games. The
way they do things is crazy to say the least. With Music doc, I
at least
have something. Don't know how long I'll keep this arrangement
however.

The problem with Music Dock is that it does not broadcast many
of the
channels -- particularly the sports channels -- that XM does
broadcast
on-line.

Hi Chris,
The only program which can work with Sirius XM is System Access
from
Samnet.
It too has its limitations but one can listen. The internet
radio isn't
all
that accessible really with JFW and Window Eyes. Even the
IPhone app
isn't
all that accessible! One can go to to
http://www.musicdoc.com
or do a search for it. One can get limited programming from
Sirius XM.
The
real problem with them is they are nickel and diming people to
death
almost.
I may stop my subscription again and pretty much listen to
online radio.
I
haven't fully made up my mind yet but they haven't been all that
accessible
or willing to discuss making their site more accessible to us.

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!
