You know someone went through the effort to give us this program so I would say if you could do better, don't knock on the creators program. Beggers can't be choosers and for a program that is free I think it works great. ITS FREE. Just be sure to hit the thanks button for the people that give you these great apps/tweaks

There's 5 new stations that are available online only this year for Sirius but this app doesn't show them in the channel list. I tried clearing the cache but they still didn't come up. They appear on the Yahoo Widget after refreshing.

You could try star player

Yeah but I like this app better. Where's the developer? I need some technical support! LOL

Thanks for the kind words OR78, but I don't think gglittle's intention was to trash C-ApiSRO. I think ggLittle was just disagreeing with a comment of C-ApiSRO being better than spending hundreds of dollars for a Stilleto. I believe he/she is just stating the fact that the stilleto, being a piece of hardware, will get channels that C-ApiSRO doesn't get.

I am unaware of the 5 new channels that you speak of. I see that someone else has made reference to channels 117 and 118 earlier, but I'm not aware of the other three. Feel free to let me know which ones are missing and I'll see what I can do to get an update to you guys.

Yes, C-ApiSRO only gives you access to Sirius/XM channels that are offered online by those providers. If it's a channel that you can stream from either Sirius' or XM's website then you should be able to play it in C-ApiSRO.

There are a lot of channels that are only offered for the hardware that you cannot get online. Channel 117 appears to be one of them; however, I am able to play channel 118 through C-ApiSRO.

If you are not seeing channels such as 118 in C-ApiSRO then you should clear your "Channel Cache" and log back into Sirius to get an updated channel list. You must log out, clear your cache, and log back in to get the latest. If it's still not there then there is a good chance the channel isn't available online.

That recalcitrant channel is 118, Radio Classics.

I retrieve the URI's directly from Sirius. I actually strip that information from their media player. I was streaming channel 118 about a half hour ago with no problems. Give it another try to see if it works. It's possible there was something wrong on their end.

Had to clear all the settings for the app because it didn't want to connect. After doing that, the new channels appeared at the end of the list. Weird that on the Yahoo Widget their listed by their channel number but here they're listed as SIR-1, SIR-2 & SIR-3. =o]
