Known Issues
1. If you are running stream_ON on a system with McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i, the buffer overflow protection will cause the drop-down boxes to be filled with blank items. The solution is to disable the buffer overflow protection in the VirusScan Console.

2. Artist lookup information may be unavailable if you have tuned to a channel with an incomplete artist name (i.e., the name is too long).

3. Artist info is NOT 100% accurate...information is retrieved from Yahoo! Music and may sometimes be inaccurate or unavailable.

4. Song/Lyrics info is NOT 100% accurate, and is not available for all songs

5. Song and artist seek are a work in progress. Some songs may be alerted twice during the same airing or not at all at times.

6. Eating fried chicken in the vicinity of this program will reduce its performance.

 
Known SIRIUS Issues
1. SIRIUS' live shows (i.e. from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, concerts, special "on location" broadcasts) may not provide accurate titling information, especially if you tune in at the beginning of the shows. If the titles get stuck, change to another channel, then change back. Also...song and artist seek may not work during these live shows.

2. Artist and title information on channels other than the one you are currently listening to may be truncated. This is due to a character limit on the receiver that is providing the data.

3. Only 10 logins per day are allowed by SIRIUS.
