Satellite Radio in Canada

[Soopacharged]

I was wondering if either XM Radio or Sirius operate in Canada. I can't to find any info on this. I'm assuming that I can get a signal because I'm about 1/2 hour from the U.S. border.

Probably can receive the signal there, however, you would need to provide a US billing address as neither service is authorized to sell service to Canadian subscribers. With the recent Canadian Supreme Court ruling regarding reception of foreign-originated broadcasts, doing so would likely not be in compliance with Canadian laws as currently interpreted.

Wouldn't putting a dish on the car cause a lot of aerodynamic drag? wink

I was looking into it last year with XM radio, but they told me that it wasn't "availible" in canada, at least for the moment. On the other hand, Future shop up here sells all the necessary equipment for it.

Is there anybody with satelite radio near the border who wouldn't mind take a little trip into Canada to see if it actually works up here?

I looked into it and yes you can receive it in Canada. Apparently some of the truckers use it and you can get it even as far north as Edmonton.

Fortunately the Canadian government can't stop the signal from splashing over into Canada.

Great! Is that including Quebec as well? I was just going by the info XM radio sent me last July.

It should reach Quebec as long as you don't go way north.
