C-ApiSRO - Sirius/XM Satellite Radio for PocketPC (PPC)

[yourbeliefs]

Is there any update to this getting working for Windows Smartphones? I have the same issue as this person and you mentioned you were working on getting it to work for Smartphones.

This is SiriusXM's way of alienating their loyal customers. It will provide almost NO NEW BUSINESS. Why would you pay for online radio from Sirius if you can get it for free elsewhere? It is foolish on their part and I suspect they will change it back soon.

I just re-upped my yearly a couple weeks ago, the $2.99/mth is for CD quality sound. I'm not paying that and still have internet service to go along with my radio.

You just got renewed in time. The cutoff was March 10 or 11. After that any renewals follow the new rules.

Okay this has got me pissed off, I have a lifetime subscription and was told that I would not have to pay for internet radio. The other day when I first got this error, somehow I was still able to listen online with my computer, that was the first thing I checked, but now it tells me i need to upgrade.

I will still try that debug file for you and get you a log, sorry it took me a few days to get back to this thread but hang in there a few more hours and I'll get it for you.

Thanks soooooo much, you are the man! srsly....

If you have a lifetime subscription you do not have to pay for Internet. Call Sirius and tell them they messed up your account.

Back in February, I got the "upgrade" notice. Converted both subscriptions, one that I had renewed in October and one set to expire in March, to lifetime after confirming with the CSR that would lock me in to the free internet radio. The account still shows free internet listening for both radios.

I just renewed for a year last week, and they gave me internet stream for free I told them if I didn't get it I wouldn't continue their services. I wasn't bluffing, so they gave it to me with the $77 yearly rate. My internet stream didnt work, I called and there is something you have to do on your end. After the log in screen you need to cllick on the left side where it says "Update Radio ID" after that my stream worked online and through this program. HTH

Is there anyway to update the channel list on the xm side? I don't mind doing it myself it is possible and not too complex. I've just noticed that when I try to listen to Liquid Metal is always plays Mandatory Metallica. Not that I mind the Metallica, but it does get old after a while.

edit - nvm its a month long thing checked the site
