I know Sirius and someone have made a deal here in Canada - haven't heard if it's available yet. Does anyone have any easy ways to get XM or Sirius subscriptions. Does either have good coverage in Canada?

thanks
craig.

They are both available in canada. I personally prefer XM, but i suggest you go check out some local dealers, and ak them about it.

I local car audio dealer might have one of each for you to see. I highly recommend XM iver sirius. It cost $3.50 less a month and they give you a good deal for activating a second receiver for your house or something. Both are Commercial free. XM also has Playboy radio for $3 a month, if you want. XM has 5 times as many subscribers as well, I have heard it might sound better too. If you have a Alpine, Pioneer or Sony Deck you can get a tuner to run XM right on the HU. I think in a year or something both will be lisenced to market service to Canadians. Right now, although the service reaches canada, it is a grey area.

I have had a pioneer XM tuner in my Durango for almost a year now. Works great. I know when I activated mine I had to have a US billing address.

Soon as they see your credit card # they know you are from Canada.

I have heard of dead spots in Canada with the Sirius.

I don't think they know. If they do they could care less. It's another subscription for them.
