Great. If I have DISH Network and all those "channels" can I use them via SqueezeNetwork?

Otherwise, this is useless.

You need a SIRIUS account.

One benefit I forgot to mention... All SqueezeNetwork users get a free 30-day SIRIUS trial at full 128kbps bandwidth. The normal trial period is only 3 days and 1/2 bandwidth.

Is SIRIUS also US/Canada only?

There is a small bug on Duet and Sirius, currently playing info data is not refreshed. To see current track/programming info I have to press any button if in screensaver mode during playback (than Duet leaves screenserver mode and shows current info, but it get stucked again). If screenserver is set to off during playback to refresh current programming data I have to navigate thru some menus, and than return to currently playing screen to see current data.

I hope that can be somehow fixed, it's not very big deal, but it would be nice if such data could be auto-refreshed and always current.

Update:
Bug solved :-)

When I go to the "Sirius" tab under "Accounts", I only have the option of signing in with an existing Sirius Account. The proviso, "Sorry, the SIRIUS free trial is only available in the US and Canada.", does not apply to me as I am in Canada. Regardless, if I switch to a VPN with a US URL, I still get the same option i.e. existing account only. Problem?

We unfortunately don't support Sirius Canada at the moment, that text
was a mistake and has been fixed.

This is great news but when I went to add my info, it's requesting that my Sirius account to be a premium account, which is an additional $2.99 a month. Will this be a requirement? I'm hoping they change this...

I don't know, but AFAIK the third party SiriusRadio plugin still works with a regular Sirius account. I think it will also work for Canadian subscribers.

Yes, a premium account is required.
