I tested the alarm a bunch of times, and so far so good with just the

In my first test I only set the alarm 5minutes ahead - too short to

So I tested again - I set an alarm for both my Boom and my Radio
20minutes ahead (good to have both devices :) ). Then turned off

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you open the radio, plug it in, and

The whole thread was talking about using the radio as an alarm to wake

Everyone said you are better off streaming from your computer because

You don't have to use your computer. You can use the SB RADIO and your
related Internet account at mysqueezebox.com. There you will set up your
account to access Sirius with your ID and PW.
Use of squeezeboxserver on your local computer is optional for what you

Yes, you understand. forums are by their very nature somewhat random.
But there is a lot of cumulative wisdom here. Yes, The use of a server
on your own computer is likely more stable. That said, I wake to an

- You will need a free www.MySqueezeBox.com account
- Sirius may charge extra for internet streaming, you'll have to ask
them
- No computer needed, you will connect Radio to your free MySB.com
account online
- Alarm Clock: best read the Radio forums, some are having issues
with this feature
1) If you have a Sirius subscription you can stream for free from the
website. But for streaming to the SB radio you need to upgrade your
streaming to the Premium stream which is just a couple of dollars
more.
2) No, you don't need your computer on to listen to Sirius on your SB
radio.
