I have XM radio, assuming Sirius is the same, you should be able to 
connect your Sirius radio (line out) to your sound cards line in or mic 
ports. If you can then figure out a couple of scripts, the first using 
sox (rec ?) to record then another script to transcode the resulting 
output to what ever format you want, you could use mythradio 
(http://www.tommywatson.com/alog) to schedule the script to record. Just 
install mythradio, ignore most of the stuff in the readme about alog and 
realplayer, and put your home grown scripts into the source/player 
entries and you should be good to go. I have no idea how you'd change 
channel or even if that is supported with the off the shelf radios.

 Cheers.
