XM Radio and Sirius don't offer the service here even thought there is coverage. I'd have to get a fake US billing address and all that other hassle. Kind of like some Canadians who subscribe to DirectTV.

It's kind of a grey market.

I was told that I was a control freak because I don't let anyone touch any part of my stereo. My thoughts were that if they can't afford to replace it they better not be touching it.




If someone other than me starts singing in my car, I just crank the volume and drown them out.
What's even better is if you have a remote and you shut it off when they are really getting into it. Usually they get a little red when they realize they are the only person singing the song and the music has strangely disappeared.

Well, it's not Canada who's making the decision, it's XM and Sirius.

We have Canadian content laws too, but there are easy ways around that. I think that Sirius and XM want to get established in the US market first.

I sing with my husband in the car. Usually the music is turned up pretty loud so he doesn't hear me. :)
