Today the CRTC approved the application of three companies to bring satellite radio to Canada. The three companies are CSR (Canadian Satellite Radio - XM Satellite Radio), SIRIUS Canada & CHUM Ltd.
With XM & SIRIUS aleady operating in the US, hopefully it'll be a quick process in getting up & running. The CHUM application is for a terrestrial system which will take a number of years to get off the ground.
Today is a great day for the 12V industry in Canada & I look forward to all the new opportunites that satellite radio will bring.

 

Now I can finally get sat radio!! No wait that was 2.5 yrs ago. But this is great news for the industry.

 

Let me know where and when and how and I'm signed up for that [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

 

sooo if i buy a sirius tuner (to go with my sirius-ready deck) about how much for the tuner/antenna? and more importantly... approx. how much does the luxury of satellite radio cost per month? i'd definately like to sign up too.. see what all the hype is about

 

I can't tell you what the Kenwood tuner might cost but I would estimate in the $150-$200 range (based on what I've seen for the XM & Sirius units for Pioneer).
Cost per month is estimated at $12 to $15 based on length of term & possible programming options.

 

You can still get a lifetime sirius sub for 499.99 american until the end of this month. I'm gonna make some credit card room and do that for the end of the month. That's only 3 1/2 yrs of service anyways.

 

nice.... more reason to dump my Sony XM ready deck for a Eclipse Sirius deck so I can listen to Howard Stern.

 

cool. yeah definately something to look into!
