Hello Timothy, Thanks for the info. Great news that the IOS app is usable. I was grandfathered into the free on-line account, but it does not cover streaming to the IOS app, hence based on what I read earlier and the fact that Pulsar and MusicDoc were viable options, I opted to stay with my free subscription.
I'm in the US, but Pulsar is hanging with a message stating "buffering". Perhaps the disparity in our observations has to do with the fact that I have an XM account? Anyway, it sounds as though Pulsar won't be functioning for much longer regardless, which is very sad. Thanks again and best regards. Geoff ----- Original Message ----- From: Timothy J.

Hi Jeff, After reading your E-mail I launched pulsar and am able to stream sirius XM content just fine. I switched back and forth between nascar radio and nfl radio and it behaved as it always does. I also use the iPhone app. It certainly isn't the most accessible app in the world but there are work arounds for it to do the tasks that you want it to. For example, when you're listening to a station and you want to go back to the categories list you can double tap the bottom left hand corner of the screen. That's the back button, although voice over doesn't read it as such. I haven't tried labeling the buttons with the custom element labeling feature. That might work as well. T.J.

Though this Rogue Amoeba page implies that US accounts are still functioning for the present, I am no longer able to play XM content via Pulsar. Musicdoc still works, however, they have not added the sports play-by-play channels. My question, therefore is: what are people now using? Last I knew, the Sirius/XM IOS app was inaccessible, as is their on-line player which appears to be using exclusively flash with none of the elements labeled in a manner such that a screen reader can read it. TIA for any ideas, or perhaps the IOS app has improved?
