That's a fair question and I can only give you details about my
installation and I point it out in the Wiki that 7/10 times I choose a
station, I get a stream in < 10 seconds and the other 3 times it's take
10 to 20 seconds. ONE time (and never since) it took 30 - 45 seconds for
a stream to start. Since I went from no Sirius at all on my Myth box to
having Integrated access to the streams, I don't mind the sub 10 second
delay.
