Show downloads vs. POS Sirius app

3  2014-06-05 by [deleted]

I am a paying subscriber, and I use the iPhone app to listen to the show via on-demand as I'm on the west coast and listen later in the day. One thing I know is that the Sirius app chews up a lot of data, and while I'm on an unlimited data plan I wouldn't mind cutting back that usage. Do the non-paid downloads chew up as much bandwidth? How big is a day's show size-wise for those?

the shows I "get" are around 118MB and include the pre & post shows. I would says if you dont have unlimited data this is the way to go.

I stream it from my phone like you 5 days a week and haver never even come close to breaking my 2gb of data plan a month. (I'd say I'm on wifi maybe 25% of those days)

I tried the downloading bit when I didn't have a steady job but it was too much of a pain in the ass.

I did it a few years ago before the lovely tech we have now (like in 08ish)

You can download to the device via the app. Do that where you have wifi connectivity then listen wherever.

Pre and post show included usually under a hundred MB
