My employer blocks www.sirius.com, so I haven't been able to listen at work.

Are there any alternate wesites I can use? I tried siruscanada.com, but it didn't recognize the logon there. I'm in USA

Thanks,
Tom

Easiest thing to do is poke around some of the free proxy lists available on the internet, find a stable high speed proxy and configure your browser to surf thru it. Your employer will see you connecting to the proxy ip address and not much else.

Thanks for the recommendation about the proxy servers. However, my employer seems to block them too. :-(

I am able to get into some radio streaming sites, like CBSRADIO.COM, but I can't access SIRIUS.COM and also, I couldn't install the Yahoo radio gadget for Sirius (no admin rights).

siriuscanada.com took me to a sign in page for listening online, but wouldn't take my american logon id/password. I'm assuming it was rejected because it wasn't a Canadian login. It didn't really say why. Have any other americans been able to sign in to Sirius via the Canadian site?

I was just hoping there was another site to reach the Sirius Online logon for listening online.

Maybe I'm just ewscrayed :-)
Thanks Tom

Sounds like your only alternative is to find a working alternative, like www.shoutcast.com which streams music of all kinds using winamp player

Try www.pandora.com. You can make your own radio station, if your not blocked from this site.
