RE: Problem getting Sirius XM to play on my Echo or iPhone

RichardHi Alan,

I just asked my Echo device to play channel 7 on SiriusXM and it started 
playing after announcing the full name, 70's on 7.

So, my guess is you are having connection issues.

 

Or, it doesn't like the 70's music, 😊.

Subject: Problem getting Sirius XM to play on my Echo or iPhone

 

Hi List,

 

I’m curious whether others are having a problem getting Sirius XM to play on 
their device. When I ask my Echo to play channel 7 or 70s on 7, I get a 
response of the announcement of the channel name followed by “Hmmm, I’m having 
trouble playing that right now.” I went to the Sirius skill on my Amazon Alexa 
app on my iPhone and disabled it and then reenabled it but this had no effect. 
When I open the Sirius app on my iPhone and attempt to play a channel by 
executing its play button, nothing is played on my iPhone and the play button 
appears to sort of blink.  I suspect Sirius has done something to mess up 
things no doubt related to security in order to protect us from ourselves . I 
attempted to sign into Sirius on my desktop computer running Windows 10 with 
Firefox and noted that it forced me to receive a verification code. While I was 
successful in signing in, none of the channels play when executing their play 
button but instead provide a popup box stating “We’re having trouble playing 
this.” Before I consider what will no doubt be a vain attempt to cancel my 
Sirius subscription, I wanted comments from the list on what others are 
experiencing with Sirius.

 

Thanks in advance for your replies.
