[Electronics-Talk] SiriusXM, Has Anyone Reached Out?

[Peter]

Hello everyone,

	I'd be curious to know if anyone from the NFB has contacted SiriusXM
concerning these issues. Perhaps it's time we blitzed them to make them
aware of our concerns and to suggest some awesome enhancements. They've done
a great job making it possible to call up specific channels using smart
speakers. It would be great if they could work with Apple, Google, Amazon,
Microsoft, , and others to enable you to use SiriusXM with personal digital
assistants. For that matter how about allowing you to be able to call up
these channels with Jaws, NVDA or other screen readers. Being able to launch
Internet radio and tv channels with just a screen reader would be wonderful
provided you have the service apps installed on your device and you have an
active account and are logged into the app or service. This would be another
way to make using apps and services with a screen reader more simpler and
would help improve their accessibility for blind customers.

I share Doug's frustration. I've never been able to get an accessible
channel guide. Another issue that has come recently is the inaccessibility
of the SiriusXM schedule. It used to work perfectly, but now doesn't make
any sense. I really like to use it for sports schedules, so I miss having
the access. Has anyone else noticed this?

Just so people know, you can listen to SiriusXM through your Echo device
after you link your account. That way you don't have to fool with an app. 
I've been doing this for a while now since my SiriusXM radio is currently in
storage with other things.
