Then this sounds like a bad deal all the way around!

Hi Chris
It is not a 1 time deal captcha with Sirius. You must enter the
characters from the captcha everytime you try to log in to
sirius online service.

Ok, question about this.  When you guys are talking about a
captcha
to listen to the online player, does this mean that in order
to
listen, every single time that a captcha must be entered, or
is it a
one time only deal?
if it's a one-time only deal, and a solution can be found that
is
accessible, then i don't see a problem, but if it has to be
entered
every single time you listen? that's rediculous!
If Sirius wanted me to become a subscriber well they sure as
hell
lost me as a customer right there.
I hope that xm does not go this route.
