FWIW - I spoke with Sirius Customer Service yesterday about getting a credit because their app isn't working (yup, got $5 credit yay!) and they advised that the updated Android version should be available 8/20...only time will tell though.
Reason and fix for Rdio, Rhapsody, Sirius/XM, BitBop, et al failing over 3G after OTA

Go to siriusxm.com/android from your phone's browser and you'll find a download link.
I give up waiting, and flash back rom 2.1, which works perfect!
I will flash to 2.2 again when the new SiriusXM app is released.
Just want to make sure I didn't missed anything since there are lots of 2.2 rom released, there is nothing out there with Froyo 2.2 that can fix this problem right? I even tried CM RC2, which didn't help. Still had the looping problem.

Someone mentioned 20 August, which came and went. I installed after that (wish I'd read all this first) and it's still looping. Contacted customer "care" and they didn't even give me a date.
I couldn't get my web-based credentials to work in the app either.
Yea, their slow response on the fix as well as their customer service really sucks. You may need to call their customer service to fix your credential, I had to do that and spoke to tier 2 support on similar issue.
Pisses me off that I'm listening to the Jason Ellis show, when leaving work, and go to put it on my phone so I can listen on my drive home, and it just loops.

For everyone impatient, like me, there is another option in the marketplace. There is a program called Wunder Radio that plays Sirius/XM, and I think it includes Howard Stern's station also, unlike the Sirius App. It also seems to work with Froyo, at least of what I read. The only downside is that it costs $6.99. I haven't tried it yet, but I guess you have 24 hours to see if it works or not or get a refund. I also plays terrestrial radio. Here is the Appbrain link:
Wunder Radio - Android app on AppBrain

Has anyone talked to Sirius lately to find out when they are going to release the Froyo version of their application. I know it says coming soon, but is that days, weeks, months. I don't really want to buy an App to get Sirius, since it is free already, but with Fantasy Football starting, I need to here Sirius on the road.

Actually I noticed that Sirius took down their "update for Froyo 2.2 coming soon" notice.
It's still there- I only check about 10 times a day-----
Were you checking from your EVO? It doesn't give the message on the mobile version of the page-

Strap in kids. I have an EVO with Froyo and I couldn't get wunderradio to work for XM. If you want a free workaround you can try the following. Download and install an application on your home computer called orb (Welcome - Orb). This app will let you stream content (music, movies, tv if you have a tuner, etc) from your pc to any other web connected device. Then you'll need to download and install an app called XM Tuner (XMTuner :: Sirius|XM Satelite Radio on your media player) on the same home pc. This app functions as a proxy between xm's servers and your new media server (ORB). When you download xmtuner it will install two applications. One is called "xmtuner" and the other is called "xmtuner service control". Start xm tuner and configure your account settings with xm or sirius. You'll see a listing of the online radio channels available to your account. Click on one you like and you'll see a url listed for that channel. copy that URL to your clip board (i think there's a button called "copy").
Make sure ORB is running and log in to your account page (right click the orb icon in the tray and choose "go to orb) and open the audio application feature of ORB. Look for "music service" and select the item called "favorite channels". You won't have any favorites so you'll have to add them. At the top of the window you'll see an options called "add custom". Click that item and a box will open where you can name the new channel whatever you want (i usually stick with the xm name), then select the path box and past the url you copied from xm tuner. That will create the new favorite channel. Repeat the process as many times as you like to create as many favorites as you want. After you're done adding channels, you can close the XMTuner app. You can also close the Orb window in your web browser (but ORB should still be running in your tray). Now start the app called "xmtuner service control" and select "install" and then "start". This control has to be running along with ORB to be able to stream from your home pc (so you have to leave your pc on....boooooo). Both of these apps can run in the background.
Now use your web browser on your phone and go to the page Orb. Once there you'll have to log in with your orb user name and account (created when you installed ORB). You'll get a mobile version of the orb site and look near the bottom of the page for something called settings and choose the option called "stream". With Froyo and flash 10.1 I have found that using "flash" as the preferred streaming method works well for both audio and video (much better than the ORB app that is available on the app store). Save and exit from settings. Your browser should remember these settings. By the way, I've been using the free xscope browser because you can maintain an audio stream (using flash) while still turning off the screen.
Look for the audio portion of the ORB site on your phone's web browser and you should see the favorites that you created on your home pc. select one to listen and wait about 20 seconds for it to load up. The inactivity timeout imposed by xm will still happen so that sucks. And really this is just a stop gap until xm updates their app. It's a long way around but it works. And I use ORB with the flash streamer to watch movies and TV anyway. If you've not used ORB before, take some time to get familiar with it. And it's Beta software so it's not bulletproof. Think of this as a weekend project

I have Sirius, not XM, and according to reviews for Wunder Radio is that the new update, just a few days old, works fine for the Sirius side, but I did read that people with XM are having problems. I still haven't tried it myself, but I might buy and try it to see if it works or not, and if it doesn't, I will uninstall and get refunded, no risk. I also wrote the author of the app about some questions I have including working with Froyo. The solution you suggested does work, but it is a lot of work to do, but if that is the only solution some people might use it. For me, I am still looking at all options.
What is the inactivity timeout you are talking about? Can you explain a little more? Thanks!
