Streaming Sirius. Any way?

WinMo has a great app that logs you in and plays your stations for free.
Android doesn't have an app unless you pay for the app from Sirius and it takes away major stations. Mainly Howard Stern.
I tried Skyfire to stream thru the browser but it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

I am also looking for a solution for this. I think it is total BS that they do this. I like the service that Sirius provides, but as a company they are the sneakiest, dirtiest, most underhanded company I have ever seen. It may be Sterns decision to not provide the licensing though.

Off Topic - Sirius supposedly said I didn't provide the correct paperwork to receive a rebate (luckily I always keep photocopies otherwise I would have been out 80$). Then they place unauthorized charges against my credit card MULTIPLE times. Then after the merger they said they wouldn't raise the price for service. They didn't but then all of a sudden streaming from the Internet was no longer free. Then they add a new "licensing fee" to cover fee's they are required to pay to the RIAA (that isn't included into the total monthly cost). DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY!!!!

Wunderradio will allow you to listen to Sirius w/ your internet signon, and yes, you can get Howard. It was a licensing issue with Stern that stopped him from being played with the players, it's the same thing w/ iphone and any other app that's provided by sirius/xm. There were apps developed by private developers that allowed us to listen on WM, hopefully someone comes up with something free for android also, as wunderradio isn't free, but IMO it's worth it if you can still listen to Howard.
