Sirius XM iPhone App Already a failure?

So it has only been out for about an hour but there are already multiple complaints flying around and one of the biggest I have seen…..No Howard Stern!

Yeah you heard that right, the one thing 90% of the people wanting the App for is not to be seen.

This is taken from the FAQ:

Why don’t certain channels appear on my iPhone / iPod Touch?
SIRIUS & XM offer all of the channels for which we have mobile
performance rights. For that reason, certain channels which may be
available on your satellite radio or online radio service may not be
available on a mobile device like the iPhone.

Some select programming, including MLB® Play-by-Play, NFL Play-by-
Play, SIRIUS NASCAR® Radio, and Howard Stern, will not be available on
the iPhone and iPod touch. Listeners will continue to be able to
access that programming through the platforms they are currently
offered on.

Second issue is that there is no support for 1st Generation iPod Touch users. Seems kinda weird.

Will report on this Tomorrow, until then will just need to wait and see what is up.

According to a source you will need to have the Best of Sirius to get Stern on the App. Can anyone confirm this?
