Sorry, I feel just the opposite, I enjoy the occasional DJ interruption it keeps you in contact with the real world and they inform you about things on other channels that you would miss out on otherwise, if all you want is non-stop music without the option of news and entertainment then by all means you should ditch satellite and go to iPod and iTunes and be limited to what you can listen too as soon as you step away from your computer... The choice is yours..

Afraid your wrong about that, there are many options available to stream Sirius on a Linux box, I was able to do it by just installing a Firefox Plug-in called "Media Player Connectivity" and VLC Media Player....
