Hey fans, Howard100 will not be streamed online like other Sirius channels. Voice your opinion and let Sirius know how strongly we all feel.

I do not have Sirius as of yet, because I've been waiting for a truly portable device. However, I've researching Sirius and the devices available and I'm quite disturbed.

Here's why:

1. I work outside of my home for a living, and the Sirius reception will be poor inside the building with a portable device or a PnP unit with a boombox. I'm sure lots of people will have this problem. None of Howard's fans will be able to hear him while they are at work.

Solution: Listen to Howard's channels on the internet, however, that won't happen because Sirius only broadcasts it's music channels over the internet.

I've written to Sirius a dozen or more times about this and they usually blow me off, but the last message from them indicates that they are reviewing the possibility because of all the calls/e-mails the receive.

If anyone here on SFN wants the ability to listen to Howard on Sirius while at work, then I urge you to please and e-mail call Sirius each day to ask them to broadcast Howard's channels on the Sirius website.

:whistle:

The man makes a good point.

What we need to do is TELL THEM how many peeps wont buy if they dont stream the show over the net.

I wont have a problem because I can't listen anyway, my job next year will require me o be at full attention during the morning, so I will just continue to DL it :)

You have bad info. Alex Bennett is available, Lynn Samuels as well, and Air America was too. All were available over the net. As to whether Howard will be......who knows?

Has anyone else noticed that an overwhelming majority of newbies that registered in Sep/Oct. seem to always end their posts with their name added a'la this guy above who started the thread?

Could this be an indicator of something.....a certain group may do?

the problem with streaming over the net is that is makes it just that much easier to pirate the show......

now that its a pay service i can see why they would not allow streaming

if you live or work in a metro where there is a repeater you can get reception inside a building. i work in philly and my antenna is 25 feet from the nearest window and get perfect reception.

tell them here where they'll see it. I'll email them too. I really need to be able top listen at work.

Which PnP unit are you using? I assume you are using a Boombox?

Also, I've written to Sirius many times and they continue to say that they will not broadcast their talk radio over the internet.

I suppose I could purchase the S50 and record the show, but I'd prefer to listen to it live.

Many channels aren’t on line because its hard for Sirius to get permission and/or get permission without having to pay (ie court TV would want some money). Since Howard is a Sirius show it will be up to Howard and Sirius.

I don't even have to put my ant. in the window..there are enough ground repeaters around here I can pick it up perfectly just setting it on top of my stereo. If you are in a big city, chances are good you canpick it up through the air as well.

Well thats not totally true. If you subscribe you get a certain amount of channels online. There are more issues with broadcasting music than howards shows. RIAA will go after you faster and with much more zeel than howards lawyers.

Its just as easy to pirate the show from a sirus radio as it is to pirate it off the internet. All i have to do is click record and change a sound input setting for internet stream. For the sirus radio all i have to do is add a 25 cent cable, boom done pirated.

i have just gotten my sirius, but i already heard it's not on the net. this really a disappointment i've been looking foward to hearing it in the office, but not now! i hope that howard will get them to put it on the net. i know that he reads the SFN, he mentioned it a few times today. can we get through to him by the SFN to get the show on the net?

When Howard initially signed with Sirius, someone asked him if the show would be available over the net and he said yes. I don't think he has mentioned anything about this topic anymore. Having access to the show over the net would definitely be a great perk.

I think once Sirius updates the method tehy check for account validation, things might (or shold) change. I tested it out and currently, more than one person can use your login info and start Sirius net streams. They need to authenticate stronger so only one stream can play at a time per username/password so they know only the account holder is listening.
If this is set in place, no valid account holder will share the info because it could lock them out if someone else is listening using their account info.

well since most people will be at work it would be great to be able to listen on line. than i dont know if the portables wont work inside of a building,i see a few people that try it this way have said it dose work.so it would be intersting to see how many people do listen ton howard inside a building and if they're having any probloms doing so.

Actually Sirius has already updated their account validation method to hear the streams online. You now have to use your account ID and Password. This is the same as the ID you use to update, change and order. So, one is not likely to share it.

Some talk shows are already streamed like the Radio Chick and Jay Thomas. I hope that they do stream Howard's show as well. I work in NYC and yes, Sirius's terrestrial signal is great even in the middle of my office floor. But, I don't want to bring the radio back and forth to work each day. It's nice if I could just log on.

BTW - My Sirius Radio is an Xact XTR-1 with a Power Pod when I'm at work. I guess I could upgrade to a docking station at work... hmm that may not be a bad idea.

I tested the account validation yesterday and its still not working how it shoud. You can use your info on multiple machines and it will stream for all of them. They need to mod it so only one stream works at a time. This cuts down on stolen identity info.

as of today howard 100 IS streamed online. it's under live talk-sirius left-- any of the two streams.

however they will change it at one point. enjoy while it lasts. i agree that if they do change the authentication method then they should since there are ppl that can't get any reception at their work. at this point you can give your password ti more than one person and you can all listen. this is not fair to The King or Sirius. They should come up with better ways to protect themselves and give us what we want and pay for. I have one friend that already canceled simply bc he can't listen at work and home.
unfortuantely Mel has never been an online streaming guy. when he ruled infinity none of the stations were online - now all of them are. too bad noone cares to listen hahahhaah
long live Howard, and kill Clear Channel

I work in NYC and yes, Sirius's terrestrial signal is great even in the middle of my office floor. But, I don't want to bring the radio back and forth to work each day.

Just buy another radio. You can get one for $100 add $500 for lifetime subscription. That's only $600 for 10, 20, or even 30 years of Sirius.

I agree that Sirius should change their account validation method. I have four radios on my account and yet, only one sign in. That means that when my borther wants to listen to the stream, I have to give him my password.

Does anyone know if a change to the validation sign in is actually being considered at Sirius or is all this just speculation?

i was also hoping that i would be able to listen online, since i only have the car dock for my unit. if i get the home dock i think it's another $50

Not putting STERN on the Internet - I can see both sides of the argument.

Infinity didn't do it because they wanted people to listen to their stations and didn't want to clog their bandwidth.

But SIRIUS doesn't have that first argument. If you're listening through SIRIUS, then you're supposed to have PAID for the feed.

I have a similar issue with my office building. Until SIRIUS sells a portable device that can store five hours of memory, I won't be able to hear the last hour of the show once I get to my office.

This should be your big news story, not that you'll broadcast it. I currently have Sirius in my car (Factory option) and I'm extremely frustrated by the fact that Howard will not be available via Sirius online when he starts broadcasting on January 9th. I work in an office building and Sirius reception is not possible. I listened to Howard in my office on old fashion radio; as did millions of other Howard fans, this will not be possible with Sirius. It is my understanding he is not available online because of potential piracy issues (example: sharing subscriber logins, downloading the audio stream). If this is the case, limit user logins to one at a time or implement a more secure login system. I hope Sirius rectifies this in the near future. I'm really disappointed because Sirius pushes the fact that content is available online and they don't clearly mention only certain content is available, this can be construed as 'bait and switch' to many fans. Also, Howard is only available on Sirius, no where else, so why wouldn't his show be available online (Jay Thomas is available online, you can only get him on Sirius; not that I listen to him). I believe this will eventually have a huge impact on subscriber growth for Sirius as the word gets out Howard is not available via the web. I'm willing to pay extra just to hear Howard online but why should I pay $12.95 a month when I can't listen to Howard's show live.

I'm emailing Sirius about that. I want to listen to the show at work and I can't in the basement type room that I'm in. That sucks!

Howard 100 should definitely be available online. Sirius.com implies it is right now by providing a Listen link on the Howard 100 News page. When you get to browse the streams, however, Howard 100 is not shown. The point is moot for me, though, because Sirius predictably uses the abominable Windows Media Player, thereby locking my kind (Mac users) out.

i can listen online sans problems and i use mac. the only thing is firefox cant find a needed plugin. the stream still plays, but i cant see the scrolling info...big fucking deal.

checking out the forums over at sirius backstage, i came across a post stating that the author got a response from some sirius official stating that the stream will be available online "60-90 days after howard starts broadcasting". they are supposedly revamping the streamer so i guess we shall find out.

I think everyone is missing the point ... we PAY for this service. We are asked to come over and PAY to listen to someone we have had the privlege to listen to for free. It's not about pirateing the material ... Howard has always said on the air he does not care if 4 people are listening to the new show because there is "NO RATING SYSTEM". If the show was "pirated" wouldn't it be replayed somewhere where people people can't find it and the show will be hours old maybe days old. Howard's show has been taped and streamed for so many years it wouldn't make a difference. You can claim people would steal codes but that won't happen, because everyone has an indiviudal code on thier radios and you need it to sign up to stream Sirius and if there are duplicates, don't you think it would be caught.

This topic has been discussed countless times on numerous threads. I have heard every possible reason to why there is no streaming. Bottom line is that the email I got from Sirius stated that "... As you know, whatever Howard wants, Howard gets". It's up to Howard to say ok.

the more subscriptions the more money for Howard is my guess. So if his fans want to hear him they have to pay for it

I have complained many times to Sirius about not having Stern online. I signed up for a full year in june. Sirius told me they have NO plans to offer talk or stern online.They said it was because their talk providers are seperate from their music programming. This is not good buisness. I told them if they were not going to give me the full benefit of my subscription by not offering me access to the programming I signed up and wish to listen to at work , I will NOT be renewing my subscription. I urge you all to threaten Sirius with financial disaster. I we all let them know we will cancel if Stern is not online, they will be forced to offer him.

"There is no REAL answer yet if u will be able to hear him or not, we all have to wait till 1/9/06 before we can confirm if he will be on the player or not.

Let me just say that my contact at sirius has told me that sirius has a new online player that they want to release which will allow howard to be played ...however it is not ready yet.

IF it gets released in time for him or not is really not known."

When you go to Sirius.com and click on WHAT'S ON NOW! It lists Howard and other channels with a speaker icon but it's not available. I wonder why the link for it?

Maybe they'll add Howard once he is actually on. I too want to be able to listen to H100 online in my office. I've been putting off buying it because I don't think that the S50 is quite there yet. I'm holding out for the S60 or S75. I want longer battery life and true portability, not just recording.

I hope that Sirius realizes that Howard fans are going to be a huge factor in their future success, and that they listen to our comments.

I am sure that Sirius is delaying many tens of thousands of new subscribers by not making Howard available online or announcing when he will be available online.

Maybe they are intentionally trying to push those subscriptions into 2006, so there will be no slump in their growth rate and, thus, support their stock price.

HMMMMMMM . . . . http://www.SternFanNetwork.com/forum/images/smilies/Characters/SpiningDemon.gif

I agree with Lifan12, maybe the silence on the topic is strategic... Secure streaming is available & the receivers themselves could even be used as hardware keys to access the live stream, like a USB dongle. The one thing that you can be sure of is that the money will drive this issue. Howard said that this is the revolution, refusing to provide a network listening solution is closed minded thinking. I don’t care if there was a repeater every five miles; there are a lot of buildings out there in Corporate America too thick to penetrate. With all those thick buildings holding potential Sirius subscribers, but not if they can’t listen during their normal working hours.

Hey all, I'm very frustrated about the lack of internet broadcast for Howard as well. I even have a window office facing the right direction and I still cannot get a signal. Just to let you know, if you use Yahoo yellow pages you can get the number to Sirius' corporate offices. I did this, left a message for Mel Karmazin's secratary to get Mel's fax number. She didn't give me his but gave me James Meyer's fax number. James Meyer is the VP of Technology for Sirius. I sent a fax notifying him of my concerns regarding the lack of Howard on the Internet. As many of you probably know, Sirius' line on this is they are afraid we will share our passwords with family and friends. They can avoid this by investing in "digital certificates" which would ensure that we couldn't share passwords (passwords would become unnecessary). Anyway, if we all keep bitching, they're bound to come around and fix this. If anyone needs James Meyer's fax number let me know (i left it at my office) and I"ll get back to you.

POST THE SUCKER!!

(But ask Mutt if he objects, first.)

Maybe a repeat of the show would be another solution - maybe on 102 or later in the day.

I've heard people say that they love the show but may not subscribe if they don't do a repeat later in the day. Some people may be in your situation so they would feel more comfortable with a repeat.


Others love the web thing but it won't work for everybody either.
I guess it will be hard to please everybody.

That being said and if I may give you another way to look at it:
The Sirius programming is amazing and I love the music channels far more than I thought I would while travelling and driving. Even at night when not listening to Howard 100 I turn on Sirius - and not the TV - because the content is far more entertaining. Breuers show is awesome on Raw Dog and like I said the variety of muic is truly great. You can even hear bands you may have never heard from the 50s and 60s. You can hear more songs by bands you may not know much about (since they don't play only the most popular tracks from each band) I heard some great Kinks stuff that I've never heard before since I only heard Lola on terrestrial- now I'll look into them. It really is alot of fun. I hope you buy it and enjoy it.

Until you hear this and get the idea you don't really think about how overcommercialized radio is.

The coolest and least publicised feature of Sirius (depending on the model receiver) is the ability to know what artists and songs are playing on 6 or more of your "favorite" stations, and to browse through the programs while listening to one.

Sign the petition to get Howard on the Sirius online stream (http://new.petitiononline.com/HS01/petition.html)

Sirius and or Howard have their business methodology wrong.

They *must* not penalize the majority of their subscribers by not streaming Howard because they think that *some* of them (subscribers) would share their accounts/passwords around.

Technology can address their fear (1 IP per stream) and they can come down hard on any offenders. Honestly I don't think anyone would risk sharing their account #/password combo for fear of having it cancelled etc.

Taking their 'logic' to the extreme Sirius and Howard should also be concerned about more than one person listening to your radio, I mean that's lost revenue there isn't it?

I work for a software company that loses probably about a million dollars a year to piracy. However, we treat all of our customers like gold and do not penalize them in anyway when it comes to obtaining services. You have to assume that each person is good unless they are clearly bad. Otherwise you'll hurt your business outlook (read pocket book) in the the future.

I personally know 2 other Stern fans not subscribing because of the streaming issue.

I will post James Meyer's fax number as soon as I get back to the office on Tuesday. I don't know who Mutt is, so I hope he/she doesn't mind. I hope all of you who choose to use it, use it in a good manner, no obscene emails to this guy. We will get a lot further if we're professional and curteous

Honestly, since I'm paying for it, I would rather not have any of the shit that I am paying for being broadcast over the internet.
I have been thinking about how I am going to listen to the show at work and all you will have to do is get the satellite antenna near a window.
Then you can actually broadcast it through your FM antenna to whatever station that it is set at on your Sirius unit (ex. 87.9)...
Now you can set your work radio if you have one to that station and it will pick up your satellite radio.
I actually did that last night, my boombox is setup in my living room, and I took my little shitty $10 portable radio in the bedroom so I could listen to the show in my room.
There are ways to make it work without using the internet, you will just have to get your antenna near a window.

That's some of the stupidest shit I've ever heard. Why would you NOT want them to stream it? THere is NO reason for you to be against this. And by the way, you ignorance is spewed even more when you say that all you have to do is put your antennae near a window. THis is so fucking untrue I can't believe it. There are MANY factors including how close you are to your nearest repeater. Bottom line your antennae has to face a particular direction (read your Sirius pamphlet), so there you eliminate approx. 75% of your average office population. ON top of that, for those who work in corporate America, like Silicon Valley, there are so many tall concrete buildings, even if you're near a repeater, there's no guarantee you'll get a signal. Personally, I have a home kit that I brough to work, antennae facing the right direction, staring right out of a window with no trees or anything, and I still can't get a signal. You are a complete fucking moron to not want it on the net as it effects you in NO WAY if you can just listen from your radio. I wish I was there so I could smack you.

Using cookies and other technology, it would be easy to track the computers where streaming is done and when someone using the same account/password streams from a different computer, a bot program could automatically request the CC# that one subscribed to Sirius with for identification purposes. Unless they registered with a stolen CC# in the first place, no one is going to share their Credit Card information.

Fuck the FCC

Also about the internet streaming, why would you want the world to have access to something that you are paying for fuckhead.

Get it through you thick fucking skull, more people need it to be on Sirius' streaming site than don't need it. And BTW, by your logic, you're already payiing for things other ppl apparently don't pay for, although I don't know how the fuck you figure that. Sirius plays their music on the net, it's not much of a stretch to put HOward on there and protect it in a way that only registered, PAYING subscribers can listen. If you bothered to read the other posts on this thread you'd understand that's what we're talking about. It's just unfortunate that your mother got tag-teamed by a bunch of retarded aids patients when she conceived your dumb, stupid, retarded, moronic, pin-headed, stupid fucking dumb fucking ass.

First of all...I don't listen to Opie and Anthony and I wouldn't pay a red cent to listen to them.
Do you really believe that the streaming music on the internet is 100% protected and only registered users are listening to it?
I'm sure that some smart assholes can figure out a way to get into the site; that is all that I am saying.
Peace.

Now there's a great point. Let's make thousands upon thousands of listeners NOT be able to listen to Howard when they want to because a handful of computer geeks might figure out how to crack in. Just shut your hole, you just keep sinking deeper and deeper. The point is, there is no logical argument to NOT stream Howard in a protected manner. NONE. It doesn't impact you in any negative way and it would help THOUSANDS who do subscribe. YOu're the only person on this entire fucking site that is against it. Go back into the hole you climbed out of please and just shut the fuck up.

I have the S50. Can't get a home kit though. Parked my car outside the house and EVERY radio in the house picks-up the signal. I can park the car about 100 yds away and still get a signal good enopugh to hear the show. You folks who can park near enough your offices may be OK. High rises, fuggetaboutit.

Look at the post above this one that "Ask Rick" wrote...that goes back to my previous point about being able to broadcast to other radios in the home/office.
Take your internet streaming and shove it up your ass fucknutz. What do you need to stream the shit on the internet at work for anyway? Don't you have work to do asshole.
I should e-mail your boss and tell him that you are fucking around on the internet at work...Actually I'll have your boyfriend tell him for me...He gave me an amazing rimjob last night.
Later cumguzzler.

Howards said time and again that the masses should be able to continue doing 'something' even though a small minority are against 'it'. It seems to me that he needs to get better informed on this streaming issue.

I am informed on the streaming issue, I just don't really understand the need for it.
If you are paying for a service and have the equipment to run the service then why would you need a totally different outlet to receive that same service?
It just doesn't really make sense to me.

Sirius should ABSOLUTELY reconsider this. Most of us have paid to listen primarily for His Royal Hind-Ass! They should at the VERY least allow folks who have paid the ability to listen. (But none of those free trial freeloaders!) http://www.SternFanNetwork.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Sirius and or Howard have their business methodology wrong.

They *must* not penalize the majority of their subscribers by not streaming Howard because they think that *some* of them (subscribers) would share their accounts/passwords around.

Technology can address their fear (1 IP per stream) and they can come down hard on any offenders. Honestly I don't think anyone would risk sharing their account #/password combo for fear of having it cancelled etc.

Taking their 'logic' to the extreme Sirius and Howard should also be concerned about more than one person listening to your radio, I mean that's lost revenue there isn't it?

I work for a software company that loses probably about a million dollars a year to piracy. However, we treat all of our customers like gold and do not penalize them in anyway when it comes to obtaining services. You have to assume that each person is good unless they are clearly bad. Otherwise you'll hurt your business outlook (read pocket book) in the the future.

I personally know 2 other Stern fans not subscribing because of the streaming issue.

I dont think that thye 1IP is the best way to go, I'm not always at the same workstation. Top be more portable and traceable why not use the receiver & USB cable to act as a harware key to enable a secure player??? Then you can hook up on any PC while insuring only one online listener per account.

Hey fans, Howard100 will not be streamed online like other Sirius channels. Voice your opinion and let Sirius know how strongly we all feel.

I do not have Sirius as of yet, because I've been waiting for a truly portable device. However, I've researching Sirius and the devices available and I'm quite disturbed.

Here's why:

1. I work outside of my home for a living, and the Sirius reception will be poor inside the building with a portable device or a PnP unit with a boombox. I'm sure lots of people will have this problem. None of Howard's fans will be able to hear him while they are at work.

Solution: Listen to Howard's channels on the internet, however, that won't happen because Sirius only broadcasts it's music channels over the internet.

I've written to Sirius a dozen or more times about this and they usually blow me off, but the last message from them indicates that they are reviewing the possibility because of all the calls/e-mails the receive.

If anyone here on SFN wants the ability to listen to Howard on Sirius while at work, then I urge you to please and e-mail call Sirius each day to ask them to broadcast Howard's channels on the Sirius website.

-Scott

You can set up a personal streeam with your own reciever and internet connection. Then you can access it at the office.

I am informed on the streaming issue, I just don't really understand the need for it.
If you are paying for a service and have the equipment to run the service then why would you need a totally different outlet to receive that same service?

Later

The issue is that Sirius is streaming other content but not Howard. If they didn't stream anything then the whole topic is moot. This I feel is why it's such a hot button topic.

Needing to buy 2 kit's (car/home) to listen is asking too much of some people.

POST THE SUCKER!!

(But ask Mutt if he objects, first.)

All, as promised, here is James Meyer's fax number. Please keep in mind that if we flood him with a bunch of obscene or just plain stupid ass fax's it will get changed in the blink of an eye. Please ONLY fax well thought out, respectful complaints regarding this issue. Mr. Meyer is the VP of Technology at Sirius and will have some say as to HOW to put Howard on the internet. Fax number is 646-313-2419

Again, I beg of you to please not send obscene typical whack pack b.s. Please only use this fax number if you're going to send a well thought out complaint regarding this particular issue.

Howard is on the radio now and he said that they are working on streamer him on the computer.

i heard that too...caller asked and howard said not to worry..nice!

Mad props for the caller to get that in while he was on the phone.

Holy shit! Was this during the test run, Please let me know..

Put him on the net!!!

You are right, just in case you didn't know almost everybody you speak to at the 800 number is actually in the Dominican Republic. That's all they do and get trained for, activating accounts 8 hours a day and they get paid the equivalent of about 3.00 Dollars an hour which most of them are actually happy to get.

Just thougt of it as somethign interesting to post.

A true fan will do the following



At 7am EST on January 9th, while HOWARD is on the air, you must all turn your hazard lights on for 69 seconds to show that you support HOWARD. At least 50 of us in NEW HAMPSHIRE/MASS are in on this.

JOIN US!

JOIN SIRIUS!

JOIN HOWARD!

would be awesome to get him on the net...

I hope they intend to streamline the show because that will make my Sirius subscription that much more worth it. Does anyone know if they plan on doing this in the future. I am really frustrated by it. I thought Howard said it would be happen. :(

Like the poster above said, a caller that got through stated that they need to stream the show online and Howard said "yeah, yeah, yeah, they're working on it". I think they probably just want to make sure it is effeicient and that it will work properly before they get it going.
Subscribe and enjoy!!!!!!

Great news from the man himself .
You are right badshirt .
Now go subscribe NOW !!!!!!

I think because the have the free preview for 72 hours, they want to prevent people from making up a bunch of fake email addresses so that they can listen for free. Wouldn't suprise me if they have on the web for subscribers only at some point. They gotta protect their man draw and they do have $500 million they gotta make back, can't give it away for free.

They don't need to give away 72 hours for free for Howard's show.

It's really an easy solution, but requires a bit of programming, which might be why it's taking so long.

I've been listening to Howard 100 streaming on my PC for awhile now. It's a super simple setup, and anyone can do it. Here's how:

(I have to warn you - I did this on winXP because that's what I'm most familiar with. I know there are other solutions for other OS's)

1. Download MS Media Encoder
2. Plug your audio out connector to the line in on your soundcard.
3. Configure the encoder to stream on an available ip address on your lan
4. Open Windows Media player on any pc on that lan
5. open the url of the streaming source
6. Enjoy streaming Stern anywhere.

I used an old PC to be my 'broadcast' box, and now I can listen to Stern (or anything else that I tune my Sirius receiver to) anywhere I have a PC and lan connection (or wifi).

We used to do this at a place I used to work - not with Stern, but people would take turns streaming their playlists over the Co.'s lan, and play DJ for the day. Very Cool, Very Easy..

Huh?

Hey Scooter where are you located? Can you hook me up?

huh? in english please? lol

can you just post the url of the streaming source?
is it an .asx file?

When Howard initially signed with Sirius, someone asked him if the show would be available over the net and he said yes. I don't think he has mentioned anything about this topic anymore. Having access to the show over the net would definitely be a great perk.
Howard did mention it again. When he was doing his first test on air he said they're working on it. We'll just have to wait and see.

Cross your fingers for a change in policy

I don't believe scootermx has it set up so everyone can hear the stream, however it can be set up with that program to stream out over the internet.

Problem is I don't think many of us have that kind of connection where it can take thousands of people listening to their stream... I'm sure the cable company will get pissed sooner or later.

The streaming it yourself solution is a good one, but what if you want to listen in the car on the way to work? Then you'd have to buy a second receiver JUST for that purpose while your other one sits at your house just streaming...

What a pain...

i really hope that this issue gets resolved soon. Im not gonna be able to hear howard at all in the mornings if they dont have an internet feed. Im right smack int he middle of an office building, i already tried geting the sirius boombox and cant get a signal for the life of it

Kinda gay !!!! :rolleyes:

What I want to know is why isn't the howard 100 news dept looking into this to get us a deffinate answer to is howard going to be streamed online and if so, when ...

Kinda gay !!!! :rolleyes:

Extremely gay.

What I was describing was for use on my lan. It could very easily be set up on a streamcast or shoutcast server, but that would be illegal, as none of us has the license to rebroadcast, which if it leaves your local network, it would be.

And yeah, this would require a receiver specifically full time for this purpose.

If they don't proivde streaming by June when I have to renew I won't...I can only imagine that thousands of others will do the same. I'll resell my equipment on e-bay get what I can and move on. It would totally suck b/c I love the Stern show but I used to listen to terrestrial from 7-8 on my way to work and from 8-11 in my office. It is completely bogus that the guys that sell us on how much more great content we will get with Sirius may inhibit us from actually listening to that content.

If Stern cares about his fans as much as he says he does he'll get this taken care of.

Please put it online., Need to hear it at work !!!!!!!!!

im pissed because the s50 portable sirius cant be heard live if your not home or in your car. It has to be on the docking kit to be heard live. That fucking sucks.

I thought this topic was not allowed any more.

My task at work tomorrow is to get my satelitte radio to work at my workstation.
I can't wait until Monday!

Why would sirius want to stream the H100 show. They will make more money selling car kits, home kits, and work kits at $50 a pop.

Why would sirius want to stream the H100 show. They will make more money selling car kits, home kits, and work kits at $50 a pop.

Because some people can't get reception no matter what. To them, the internet is the only other option.

Why would sirius want to stream the H100 show. They will make more money selling car kits, home kits, and work kits at $50 a pop.

Since you must still buy and activate a receiver to gain online access this argument will not hold water. The 1,000s of people reluctant to subscribe without online access will surely cost Sirius much more in the long run. With all the rebates you see, it is clear that the hardware is not a major profit center compared to subscription payments.

First of all...I don't listen to Opie and Anthony and I wouldn't pay a red cent to listen to them.
Do you really believe that the streaming music on the internet is 100% protected and only registered users are listening to it?
I'm sure that some smart assholes can figure out a way to get into the site; that is all that I am saying.

You're a dumb fuck and have no clue of what you're talking about... Get a clue doucshe bag.. If Sirius streams were easily hackable someone would have done it by now and believe me fucktard.. they are by no means easily hackable.. if you knew anything about streaming technology, or by that fact the way that Sirius implements their streams, you would see that they are in fact using random tokens and md5 to secure the streams and authenticate users.. this is not a very simple thing to hack. I know cause I know some folks who were at one point trying to create a Sirius stream player to use on their Nextel i930's so they can listen to Stern and or Sirius music anywhere from their Smartphones.. the application cannot be created because of how Sirius secures their streams. Now, I understand from reading your posts that you're fucking retarded so I'll make this point clear... the folks creating the Smartphone application were not trying to hack Sirius for the benefit of non-subscribers... they were attempting to create an application for the benefit of the Subcribers themselves.. in order to do this we needed to know how they were authenticating and encrypting their streams.. so we did our homework and found out how.. Do your homework asshole before you start talking shit about stuff you don't understand.

They would like to make you pay extra, for the privilege of listening to their stream.

Why can't everybody just utilize the hardware that Sirius provides when you go to the store and purchase your satellite radio?
This topic is fucking retarded and should not even have any more discussion.

The internet stream is a CONVENIENCE you stupid fuck.. some people don't have sit close to a window at work and unlike you some of us like to get a little bit more for our money. Yeah we can listen to it from our radios but not all of us have the option of sitting a radio on our desks and running a long ass wire from our desks to a window so we can get reception. Also, don't talk about shit you don't or can't understand. You are only revealing more and more how truly retarded you are to the rest of us.

Thank you sir...Finally someone who understands me. I'm going to work right now, I am determined to get my radio working before Monday morning. I'm about to drill a hole in the ceiling and throw my antenna on the roof. :rolleyes:

It seems it is a lot easier for you guys to say "deal with it", since you have options. But there are some of us (mainly those in apartments and condos) that are VERY limited in our options. Since they are already setup to stream some channels online, it would be very nice if they added Stern as well.

Hey guess what Tamadrumboy.. I run the IT department of my company.. as of Monday morning we will be broadcasting Stern over the office music system thanks in part to the ability for us to broadcast over an FM signal to any radio that's listening... so I guess thats going to be quite a few NON-SUBSCRIBERS who will be listening to your precious Sirius signal that you paid a wopping $13.00 a month for... ya hear that.. it's the sound of 100+ people stealing your satalite subscription because one person had a radio with an FM trasnmitter... now imagine how many other offices are doing this across the US and you bitch about streaming over the internet and people stealing Sirius... moron.

Ok guy, if thats the case, Why does XM stream most of their content over the Internet and that includes Dopie and Aint funny.
If they have an internet stream available for the Stern show, or any other non availble show their subscriber rate would definitly go up. If their worried about "stealing" well the Fm modulator is more of a threat

Being able to broadcast through and FM signal that is.
You are a very smart man and should be awarded for your amazing knowledge or lack thereof.
Now...back to the topic that is being discussed; anything else about streaming on the internet?
Hahaha...Lick my sac pyromite.
:p

Even having access to a window facing the right direction does not mean you will get a strong enough signal due to sealed, double paned, gas filled windows which has been a construction standard in commercial and residential buildings for years. At best you have to invest in an aftermarket antenna that costs more than most Sirus radios and keep your fingers crossed. It is bad business for Sirius not to provide streaming on Monday.

Waaaaaaah~ My radio won't work near the window made of industrial glass.

Stream it yourself, it's not hard at all.

Waaaaaaaaah~ I don't want people using the internet to listen to my subscription to Sirius that I pay $13 a month for! Waaaaaaah

Waaaaaaah~ My radio won't work near the window made of industrial glass.

I can completely agree with the desire for a truly portable device, but that can't happen until they solve the problem of the antenna anyway. As far as online, I agree, if they had that, then most of us would be very happy at work. I personally used to listen to my local channel's streaming audio on the web and that had howard for a while, so I could listen at work. I agree, but still think SIRIUS is well worth it!

On step # 15, instead of "Play a song in Winamp..." obtain a black cable, with two plugs at each end where the plugs resemble earphone jacks. Plug on end into your Sirius tuner and the other end into the "Line In" hole on your sound card.

It works great.

I subscribed anyway. The show will be available somewhere on the internet.

I do hope that Sirius decides to stream the channel, though.

Yeah you're right that it will be on the internet. I got an e-mail from someone here saying they would stream me the show for only $5 a month.

I was so pissed off, I could not hear Howard this morning at work. They better get the channel streaming FAST!


E

I'm looking forward to the stream. It sucks that I have to schlep the receiver and antenna over to my office every time I want to listen to Howard.

The stream makes good business sense. We still have to hear the ads and commercials, so its not like its free...

Strange how serious decides whether or not they stream their talk channels - like NPR and so on. I'm guessing that it has to do with the licensing agreement with whatever the show's owner has. For example some of NPR's shows are available through other streaming sources - most for a fee...

I have a feeling that ten years from now this will all look silly. on-demand provisioning will really undergo some changes by then, methinks...

Anyone hear when the online stream is coming? Also, is it going to be a live stream or a replay of the previous day?

A couple of mentions by Howard today as well as one of the Howard 100 News Reporters. They continue to say they are working on it. Howard says he is anxious to make it available. The reporter said during the Noon News today that she was trying to investigate but was being stonewalled. So, we have to wait and see. :(

Hopefully it will be resolved soon.

I thought i heard Howard say something about getting it on tommorow?

Clearly, the momentum is building to this becoming a reality sooner than later.

can't wait for it to be streamed ....will make things so much easier

It's bullshit we had to force Howard's hand to get online stream. It should have been ready from Day 1.

FYI, I have been listening to other stations via internet steaming from sirius. My employer notified me that this was causing too much bandwidth on their internet connection line.
I wonder how many people this will also happen to at their employment. The only good news to this is Howard announced he will start broadcasting his show 4 times a day.

The only bad part is that he it isn't going to happen till June. :mad: After the next quater so he can try to sell more units. That cheap as Jew. Does he ever stop with the money. More more money.

:rolleyes: try a better joke, dude! that's not fun OR funny!

wow will we ever hear howard on sirius online? I basically only have time to hear sirius at work on the net so not being able to hear howard really sucks. C'mon its almost May!

I think the big problems here are : Bandwith to accomodate the numbers of listeners that such a stream would get would be very costly, and issues with protecting the stream from non-subscribers.

MY company already blocks Sirius.com and Howardstern.com, so I'll just continue using my own stream.
