SiriusXM is a satellite radio station, and the satellite is in orbit above North America. The station is available to subscribers only in North America. Outside of North America, users will be able to listen in some cases at http://player.siriusxm.com/home/foryou via a computer or lap top, using a non-Safari browser. (Click free preview and then choose the U2 banner.) It doesn’t seem to work from mobile devices unless you are able to access the desktop version of the site. Once you start listening via that method your time will be limited, and eventually you will be unable to access again for a period.
