I really thought there would be class action suit I originally subscribed for the NFL and they removed it half way through my subscription year. Now it's a monopoly and the only choice is to go back to the crap known as Terrestial radio...not much of a choice eh?

Ughh

I must have been under a rock somewhere. What I understand from other posters is that no Stern and no NFL games broadcasted on the iPhone app.

But this one has me scratching my head... you're saying that Sirius is no longer broadcasting NFL games on their radios/online because they lost it to XM radio?

I just installed the XM App, and learned that traditional (basic) online access is not sufficient to use with the iPhone app. I called XM and they gave me a complimentary lifetime premium package since I have lifetime plans on two XM radios. I also have a lifetime Sirius package... so if that wouldn't have worked, I would have called Sirius and tried them.

NFL did not go to XM, what are you talking about? Sirius holds the NFL contract and, after getting it, never lost it. They own XM, so XM isn't going to buy it out from under them, because it is the same company.

NFL may possibly be offered on BOTH next season (while MLB is NOT) but Sirius did not lose the NFL contract.

Have Sirius XM on my phone, Already had premium online subscription so it worked flawlessly. All my favorite channels are on there (Octane, Faction) and it works over 3G. Only bad thing is that it DRAINED the battery on my phone in less than a few hours (using external speakers). Just wish it worked in the Background!

I also wished it had a mechanism to defeat the sleep settings of the phone like other music apps.

Yea I got all excited hearing about this one and was contemplating signing up again just to listen to Stern, but now forget about it. Sirius is just Pandora without Howard.
