[Electronics-Talk] Sirius XM access on mobile devices

[Andrews, David B (DEED)]

It is tied to one spot because it has to be hooked to the antenna. There may be newer models that include the antenna, I think they have portable models. They of course have to be positioned so that they see the satellite, not as forgiving as standard broadcasts.

I had Sirius's streaming service for a while, and I may go back to it.  I used it on my iPhone, and it worked reasonably well.  Sometime last fall, they made some change so it didn't show station names in certain contexts, which was rather annoying, but I could still enter the channel I wanted and get to it.
My main complaint is that not every channel is available through streaming, regardless of the package you purchase.

Dave, is your Sirius boombox tied to one spot, or can you carry it around in the house and yard?

I think you only get one device per account, you can add more, I think, but at an extra cost.

I have a boom box type device for listening to Sirius/XM.
