On\u00a0<strong>March 31<\/strong>\u00a0we enhanced our streaming service and consequently your streaming player may not be able support the new SiriusXM feed. If you are unable to get SiriusXM at home after March 31 on your current equipment we recommend the following options.\u00a0 Upgrade to a newer model.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">If you are still able to listen to SiriusXM on your current equipment after March 31, then you can ignore this issue. Rest assured, this has no effect on your account and the billing of your SiriusXM subscription package.

Last week, I noticed that it would no longer accept my SiriusXM username and password.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m guessing some of the iHeartRadio functionality may still work on my unit, but that remains to be seen (I rarely use that particular service).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure Grace Digital is experiencing a very serious hit to their reputation. As I understand the situation, the rug was pulled out from underneath them. They (nor C.Crane) had any warning that Reciva (or, rather, Qualcomm now) would pull the plug on the aggregator service. I can also tell by the announcement that they weren&#8217;t expecting SiriusXM to &#8220;enhance&#8221; their streaming service in a way that would disable SiriusXM on older units.<\/p>\n<p>I still haven&#8217;t received a firm confirmation yet, but it does look more likely that Reciva radios may use <a href=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/2021\/04\/do-reciva-wifi-radios-use-a-token-system-lets-prove-or-disprove-this-now\/\">a token system<\/a> to routinely verify compatible products.
