Stream Sirius Satellite Radio to your iPhone, No Jailbreak Required!
Here’s how you can listen to Sirius on your iPhone. For those unfamiliar with Orb, this will also enable you to listen to Sirius on xbox360, ps3, and about any device that can get the internet. All you need is some help from an on PC, and you’re set. This is PC-only. Finally I can give that sportster hardware I got years ago a proper home: the side of the road!
1. Download , install, and run uSirius. Click Settings to enter your Sirius login information. Click Start.2. Click on URLS and find the channel you want. Copy the URL under the “Channels” tab to your clipboard. Leave the app running.
3. Download the Orb client and open an account.
4. Open ports TCP 554 and UDP 13398, 13399, 13400 and 13401 in whatever firewall you use. If you don’t know, then it’s probably Windows Firewall, located in your Control Panel.
5. Go to Orb.com and log in. Click on Settings in the top-right corner. Change the streaming format to 3GP. Click OK.
6. Click on Open Application, then Audio, then Internet Radio, then Add Custom in the top navigation. Name the station, and paste in the URL from uSirius. Click Submit and then drag the new channel listing into the “Favorite Channels” in the list to the left (not a necessity, just makes things easier later on).
7. On your iPhone, open Safari and go to Orb.com and log into your account. Click Audio, then scroll down to Internet Radio Favorites. Click on your station, and enjoy.

Yes and everything shows up but when I go to stream it it just stays there and it does nothing but I can stream all the other channels on ORB just fine..
Its weird because Ill look in in the usirius and it tells me “Incoming feed request for uSirius Channels (HOWARD STERN/Howard 100 - 129 Kbps).
17:42:44 - Incoming request completed.”
So im not really sure what I missed.. I opened all the ports in windows and Im working on getting the ports opened on my router right now so, who knows.
if I get it to work ill post.
Thanks Again

Ur sir are the MAN!
You dont know how happy I am especially since I dont need to jail break
I did end up screwing one step up and thats why it didnt work.
If you follow every step just right this also works on the Ipod Touch.
Thanks Again

Sweeet. I’ll update it. Thats good to know! Was it the 3gp step?
Comment by Bryan Hughes — August 4, 2008 @ 3:57 pm
No I was copying the Feed url and not the Channel..
Simple mistake thats why I said if you follow it exactly it should work just fine.
Thanks Again this is awesome

Thank you SOOO much, you have no idea how grateful I am for this! I was seriously thinking about jailbraking my iphone 3g for the sole reason of being able to listen to Howard. Luckily, I found a link to this page on SFN. Thanks again!!
