StarPlayr for Windows Public Alpha Release

Category : Uncategorized

From SFN.com

This is an Alpha
release, so some features are disabled such as XM radio, CD Quality
streaming, and preset persistence across platforms. This version will
cease to function at some point in time when we go full release… but
a simple re-install of the latest version will be all that is needed
when the time comes. This version will run for quite some time.

Please report any crashes in that thread.

http://forums.geekstoolbox.com/file_store/StarPlayrWin.zip

Unzip to a folder, run setup.

It uses the latest .Net 3.5 framework, so it will prompt you if not already installed.

StarPlayr will install much faster once Framework 3.5 is present on your Windows PC as StarPlayr is very small.

Russo to headline ‘Mad Dog Radio,’ new sports talk channel on SIRIUS and XM

SIRIUS XM Radio announced today that it has signed
renowned sports talk personality Chris “Mad Dog” Russo, the former star
of the Mike and the Mad Dog show, to a five-year contract to headline a
new sports talk channel exclusively available on SIRIUS and XM.

Mad Dog’s recent departure from the market-leading Mike and the Mad Dog
has been national news in recent days — a dramatic reflection of his
loyal fan base, huge popularity and strong name recognition. Mad Dog is
known for having helped popularize the sports talk radio format across
the country and speculation on his next step has been high.

“Mad Dog’s fans are passionate about their sports and passionate
about where they get their sports news and commentary from — these are
the listeners that any audio entertainment company would want,” said
Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer, SIRIUS XM Radio.
“Having Mad Dog on SIRIUS and XM will fuel subscriber growth and create
new and exciting opportunities for advertisers. Choose whatever sports
analogy you want — this is a big win.”

SIRIUS
channel 123 and XM channel 144 will relaunch as Mad Dog Radio, a
reformatted channel that will cover the spectrum of sports with
engaging talk, high profile interviews, up-to-the-moment news and live
remote broadcasts from the biggest sporting events.

Optimize your Sirius Radio FM Transmitter for Free

Category : Uncategorized

Your
SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter that allows it to operate
wirelessly through your car FM radio. We have determined that the
output of this transmitter exceeds the limits established by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As a result, the unit may
interfere with the performance of radios operating in areas adjacent to
your radio. There are no health or safety concerns associated with this issue.

  • If
    you listen to your SIRIUS radio wirelessly through your vehicle’s FM
    radio, then please review the solutions listed below and select the one
    that works best for you. SIRIUS will provide you the best solution at
    no cost.
  • If you use your SIRIUS radio only
    when docked in a boombox, or directly connected to your car radio or
    home stereo using audio cables or a cassette tape adapter, then no
    interference can occur and no further action is required, provided you
    have turned off your FM transmitter. To turn off the FM transmitter,
    first press the MENU button. Use the channel up/down buttons to
    highlight “FM Transmitter” and push the SELECT button. Use the channel
    up/down buttons to highlight the “FM On/Off” menu item and then press
    the SELECT button. Use the up/down buttons to highlight “FM Off” and
    press the SELECT button. To exit the “FM On/Off” menu, press the MENU
    button. Use the same procedure to turn off the FM transmitter if you use Solution 1 or Solution 2 below..

Solution 1 – Direct Wired Audio Connection:
If your vehicle radio has a “LINE IN” or “AUX IN” jack, you can use a
stereo cable to connect directly to your SIRIUS radio. This solution
is the easiest to install and provides the best audio performance.
Many newer vehicles provide the required audio input jack. It will
normally be found on or near the front faceplate of your vehicle’s
radio.

Solution 2 – Cassette Tape Adapter:
If your vehicle has a cassette tape player, you can use a cassette
adapter that allows you to play your SIRIUS radio through the cassette
portion of your vehicle radio. The adapter slips into your vehicle
radio as easily as a cassette tape and provides better performance than
a wireless connection.

Solution 3 – FM Extender Cable Kit:
An FM extender cable will provide a special transmitter antenna that
allows you obtain the best audio performance through your vehicle’s FM
radio. This solution is easy to self-install, but does require that an
easy-to-hide wire be run in your vehicle so the transmitter antenna can
be placed in close proximity to your vehicle’s radio antenna. Using
this FM Extender Cable Kit, you will continue to use your SIRIUS radio
exactly the same way as you do currently.

Solution 4 – FM Direct Adapter with Professional Installation:
An FM Direct Adapter provides a wired connection between your SIRIUS
radio and your vehicle’s radio. You will continue to listen to your
SIRIUS radio through the FM tuner of your car radio, but the FM Direct
Adapter eliminates the outside static and interference you sometimes
experience when using a wireless FM connection. This solution usually
requires professional installation. We will provide a certificate
redeemable for installation at an installation center in your area.

Please go to www.sirius.com/optimize
and select the solution that works best for you. If you have any
questions, please call 1-(877) 635-5130. Detailed instructions will be
included with your solution.
