How will streaming of Howard's show work?

[NewsSleuth]

I have a basic question regarding the streaming of Howard's show. He has said that the company is working on it.

My question is, what is to stop Sirius subscribers from giving out their log-in info and passwords to non-subscribers so that they can listen to the stream too?

Is there any way that Sirius will block this, such as activating just one account from an IP address at one time?

I hope not! What if I want to listen at home and at work? Do I have to pay for another subscription? You're right that people like to abuse it and give out they're passwords. This is quite the conundrum!

Howard should just have it set up like Mancow has his set up. You can go to Mancow.com, listen live to the show, listen to the recorded stream or d/l the entire show to your MP3 player.

It'd be simple to limit an account to one active login no matter the source.

At present you can have on a Sirius unit AND also sign in and listen on line to the same or any other channel available on line, which is all the music channels plus some of the Sirius-origin talk shows.

No problem, you just can't be logged on from both places at the same time.
The wife and you will have to take turns listening.
