Will there be an international "grey market" for Sirius stimulated by Stern the way there was a Canadian grey market before Canada allowed Stern back in? I noticed several SFN threads on the subject.

Streaming was a topic of discussion at the SFRT this week. They talked about the possibilities of Sirius offerring "streaming only" accounts (this could help international listeners - many of whom download). Of course this is probably wishful thinking. Surprising that there have apparently been so few bugs with streaming, so far.

The cool thing is that people outside of America and Canaduh can listen...

Streaming's getting better all the time. If the one Howard is beta-testing can do all that was talked about in last week's SFRT, it will be great!

The streaming is great. When I have a bad signal with the radio I switch to streaming. Vice versa. At first the streaming was choppy if I was doing other things on the computer, but it seems to be getting better.

With the 24 hour/day replay, a lot of people can access the show via streaming. Not to mention pre-settable streaming radio recording software now available.

I'll be visiting on your planet during those two free trial days and signed up for the "guest subscription." I plan to have access to an Earth computer. Does the computer's owner need to download a player from somewhere in advance - or will a player simply pop-up? Also, the Earthling I have an appointment to listen with has what you Earthlings refer to as "Dial-Up." Is that a concern??

I'm eager to listen to my friend Riley during those two days. I hear he'll be doing "The Late Show" (what you Earthlings call Midnight). I guess Riley will fill me in more when I arrive on Earth.
