The setup is pretty straight forward - just enter your Sirius account info and it will do everything else. Click on URLs to get the URLs for each Sirius channel you want.
2) Sign up with http://orb.com/ and install the local client on the same PC that you installed uSirius.
3) Set up Internet Radio Favorites on mycast.orb.com (cut/paste the URLs from usirius for Howard 100, 101) for each Sirius channel you want.
4) Login to mycast.orb.com from Safari on your iphone and select the favorite that you created. Listen away!
It works well over Wifi. However, I have to wait to go back to the states to see how well it will work over Edge on ATT as it's too expensive to use on Rogers, currently
Note there seems to be a bug, on the first connect from Safari, it will crash, just try again and it will stream quite well for a long time.
OH BTW live365 Internet channels also work in the same manner (Get the URL from itunes get info after trying on your PC). Iphone also works well as a remote control for my SqueezeBox.

It sounds like the more interesting point is that you can stream audio from a source to the iphone... Doesn't have to be Stern, it could be anything I would imagine. Interesting.
Has anyone tried it using the Edge? Does it still work?
Thanks for the how-to. Unfortunately, I can't get this working well. I set it up following your instructions, and it works fine from my laptop (I use my desktop as the Orb server and on my laptop I can listen to whatever Sirius stream I want). However, from my iPhone, the stream starts and then after about 15 seconds where it works great, it suddenly stops and will not restart. This occurs whether I am using WiFi or Edge and no matter which Sirius channel I try. Anyone else have the same experience on the iPhone with this?

This happens sometimes for me, but only on the first time I select it. On the 2nd time it works until I stop it. It even works in the background well (i.e. as I get email etc). Perhaps try a soft-restart of the iphone (Home+power). Also try another audio stream (like live365) to make see if that works.
