The yahoo sirius widget has been programed so that you never need to enter the character pictures. I assume usirius does the same thing.

The 128kbps feeds cost an extra $2.99 per month. The normal internet feeds are at 32kbps.

I'm used my smart phone to listen to Sirius before in a car. It dropped signal several times over the course of a 30 minute car ride. I don't think it a particularly practical solution.
