I have owned Sirius Satellite radio for around 4 years now and loving it. The only thing lacking is Linux support for the audio streams. I have working a simple client (using VLC) that will play one channel. Over the next few weeks I’ll be cleaning up the code, adding a gstreamer backend (hopefully), and releasing the source.

17|Jan|2006 1do you have one of those devices that connect to the computer with USB to record the programming? Do you have to have a subscription for each device you have?

17|Jan|2006 2I have a portable unit that has a docking station for the car and home, and a integrated unit in my own car. The subscription is most expensive on the first device, but then for every 2nd+ radio the subscription is half price. Getting one subscription gives you unlimited access to the streams online - all music stations are streamed, but only select talk/news stations are.
