Can a couple of other people with a Canadian subscription to Sirius confirm if the internet stream is now 128k?

WOW... Thanks. I guess I'm switching back. The only reason I left for a US subscription was to get the premium feed.

Thanks.

It indeed now works in Firefox but not properly. The volume control isn't there, nor is the list of the last 5 items that played or even the title & artist name.

i beleve that never was working for firefox. those features are only availible with internet explorer because they use an activeX control (internet explorer plugin) sense they use windows media player for there web player i do not know what they can do to get that working on firefox other than getting some kind of new playerto replace media player for the stream

As a side note... XM has eliminated the high bandwidth option on its web player and reduced the bandwidth to 32K. All the external players have been disabled as well. First StarPlayr was disabled and the Yahoo XM widget appears to be disabled. I guess Canadian Sirius subs lucked out with the internet listening option.

Pulsar, available from http://rogueamoeba.com/ plays Sirius and XM streams. It is only available for the MacOS though.

the yahoo widget is good but the problem with that is you have to install the yahoo widget main program first and i still do not want to pollute my main computer with that

I have the Sirius Widget but I had to use the one posted below with a Canadian Sub, the other one didn't work for me. This one works well at 128k.
