No one in canada has time to listen to the radio they wouldn't listen to it
if it were free. I give them 3 months of kidding themselves before they file
for bankruptcy up in canada. There is such a thing as a field study which
sirius has obviously never heard about. This will make the white stores in
america look like the biggest windfall ever. Remember field studies. If they
sell one subscription it's one more than they should.

Given the fact the U.S. is so large and lush in its ability to be a
self-sufficent broadcasting beacon w/ it's like, 4 million XM (U.S.)
subscribers, I don't see how XM Canada... which I see as the clear
winner much like Bell ExpressVu is to Star Choice, could get more than
675,000 and succeed for very long. Then again, years later and Bell
ExpressVu and even LOOK TV is still kickin'.

Given that most of the infrastructure is already in place, it's a
question of whether the 675,000 subscribers are worth the cost of
dealing with the legislative bull****.

I for one cant wait for the receivers to go on sale, and I will gladly pay
the $15 a month to subscribe.
I commute nearly 2 1/2 hours a day round trip, and I take routes that take
me from near Guelph to Hamilton, so traffic reports every 5 minutes about
the 401 or Don Valley parkway or Islington and Bloor don't really interest
me.
I wake up to 680News, so I already know what happened while I was sleeping,
and don't need a recap every 30 minutes.
I have never been influenced by the commercials I hear, not having purchased
Sleep Country Matresses, AlarmForce Home Security Systems and do not suffer
from mental depression that I need to listen to former loser heroin skanks
whine about wrong coices they made in life but how CAMH helped them.
I just want to listen to music, uninterrupted, for the nice leisurly drive
through the Halton Hills while go to and from work.
Satellite Radio is my salvation. Pop the unit in, tune to all jazz, and
thats it...no irritating DJ's talking about **** I don't care about, no
commercials, no traffic, weather and news updates, just music.
If it only lasts a year, which I doubt, it will be one year of bliss.

Some of you negative nellies who **** on everything because, well, thats the
type of ****turds you are, seem to forget that there are more people outside
Toronto and Ottawa.

There are millions and millions of people who live in places that do not
have access to the CN Tower, and can't pick up terrestial radio other than
maybe one or two FM stations that play songs none of us have ever heard of.
It's these same people who purchased ExpressVU and StarChoice systems to get
TV that wasn't available in their rural areas.
Now these same people will purchase satellite radio for their cars and home,
to listen to jazz, rock, classical and other music, NOT AVAILABLE OUTSIDE
TORONTO!! Get it??

Just once in your lives, take your head out of your ass and imagine how
someone else lives and thinks, and maybe you'll see that not only are there
other points of view, but that not everyone thinks in such a small and
limited scope.

With no Howard Stern there is no reason to buy a Canadian Sirius radio.
Both XM and Sirius are struggling to make a profit in the US so good
luck in Canada. It is a better product then the crap that is on free
radio right now but unless they are charging less then $8 a month most
Canadians that are cheap would pass.

See what i mean? Another ignorant ****turd who lives in a nutshell telling
us what life is like...
Most of Sirius stations are no different than ExpressVu Galaxie stations,
pure music, no talking, no chatter, no dj's....get your facts straight
before opening mouth. If you had ever ventured beyond the porn channels to
see what else is there, you would have heard what specialty music channels
sound like.

The only problem with that is I doubt you will get it without the annoying

Exactly right on Stern. I'd have paid $20 a month to Sirius Canada if they
were caryring Stern. But I knew they wouldn't, THEY knew all along they
wouldn't and I just went and got set up with the REAL Sirius so I can
continue to listen. Thanks CBC-you're ****ing your own success in the ass
because you don't want Stern. I'm in Canada, I'm still going to get him and
you guys aren't seeing a cent of my money.
Yet somehow douchebags like Opie and Anthony WILL be on the air in Canada.
And I don't understand why people like the idea of satellite radio as
opposed to downloading a ton of music onto an MP3 player that, when you hear
a song that grates on you, can be skipped.

I don't know about you;when I am in a moving vehicle and I am driving,I
do not want to "interact" with the media and constantly have to take my
eyes off the road to search for a song,or push buttons or pop in a CD
into a player and take my eyes off of my driving.Same thing with cell
phones.
Satellite radio is great in the fact that you can set a channel before
driving and listen to a "play list" without fumbling around with the
equipment so much.And I have all my presets ready to go too.Some of you
MIGHT be great at multi-tasking while you are driving in heavy
traffic.Speaking for myself though,I would rather NOT be around you when
you do it though.
I almost got hit 2 weeks ago by some woman talking on a cell phone and
not paying attention.
CD "popping",MP3 playlist selection and tape
juggling are all part and parcel of the same thing.The SIMPLER the
better,operations wise.

Ummmm, I'm turning 37 on Thursday (I'll let you wish me a Happy Birthday on
the 24th, unless you want to now).
I'm 14, 000 in debt on a Pres. Choice Mastercard, own a house that is
bleeding me dry (which is partly why I said, in the firstplace, that
downloadnig is better: cheaper) and I have a family, as well as an 70 pound
ball of passive-agressive Chow Chow. As for the demanding boss and
inability to get it up-don't have that problem... er, yet. As for time, I
believe it was Shakespeare (or maybe it was Chris Elliot) who once said
'Those who have no time never seem to do anything with it... ' OK, I
honestly don't remember the quote, but it was basically that it's EASY to
find the time and the people that complain most about NOT having time are
the ones doing the least with the time they have.

The two companies were actually bitching about having to have more
French Cancon they desired. lol And some Canadian watchdog groups say
even w/ a combined more French content and coupled w/ the English
Canadian content STILL doesn't make it Canadian enough. Pretty much just
an American piggyback.

(((IF ONLY))) we could get DirecTV and Dish Network licensed here if
they offered 3 Canadian stations for every 5 American channels you can
get by subscribing to a "DirecTV Canada" (Bell ExpressVu goes bye-bye)
and "Dish Network Canada" (Star Choice goes bye-bye).

I think you're right about people wanting to tune out traditional radio
stations and their disc jockeys and their bull**** ads.

I hope this kills AM radio, but it probably won't. Whatever happened to
the desired "CD Radio" where the AM and FM band would disappear along w/
stations licenses and CD Radio would replace it (also making ANY
radio/stereo/clock radio obsolute!)? That was expected years ago and to
have launched around this time.

The only problem with that is I doubt you will get it without the annoying
DJs. XM and Sirius seem to be full of them and it seems like for some
reason they are getting more. Too bad for us all.



About the only "DJ" you'll get is some replays of the old '60s Wolfman
Jack show on the '60s channel. lol


Ah, thank god for the advent of mp3 stereos.

Personally, the lack of Stern is a semi-positive thing for me -- I don't

However, I'd be willing to pay exactly what I pay for Shaw's digital
music (which is both mtrax and galaxie): $1.99/month. I don't really
need portability, I just want digital music in my house.

If the programming is substantially better, I'll look into it, but
otherwise, why bother?

They're not.

with a pretty extensive collection of mps and a good mp3 player (some can
handle up to 30000 song on hd) you can have all the musiq you like,and with
the random feature on those device,you will never hear the same song all the
time...

there are even ways of having random songs but of just a few chosen
styles..and you can put many type of styles to a single song...

lets say in the ghetto from Elvis ,can be tagged as ,Elvis,ballad,70's

now if you do something like that you will have your own xm radio service
inside your car,wont have to pay a service fee,and if there are some song
that you really like from local people ,not known to the great American
people,well you will be able to listen to those song too...

now I know I was steering the pot... with my 2 liner..

cause you asked for it..when stating that xm radio or Sirius would be such a
great thing..when in fact its only a damn way for by corporation to control
what you listen to...

Keep in mind that someone out there must have, at one time, recorded a
Stern show. Have that person email that show to you... it will be
exactly like every other show he has done every day, just with a
different girls name! No need to subscribe to anything---just play the
Stern MP3 over and over and over, like he does every morning.

"****turd"? Is that the extend or you communication skills or was that
actually over your level and you had to look that up?

As far as my opinion about the DJs, it applies to the channels I listen to
and is accurate. Music choice had no talking on the channels I listened to
and XM does. It has also gotten worse over the coarse of the last several
years. That is a matter of how it is and not just my opinion. As far as
the stations I don't listen to, I could care less cause I don't listen to
them.

But please don't allow facts to get in the way of expressing your opinions
with all those communication skills you are acquiring. It would be a shame
to think some one else disagrees with you and becomes a "****turd".

Most of Sirius stations are no different than ExpressVu Galaxie stations,
pure music, no talking, no chatter, no dj's....get your facts straight
before opening mouth. If you had ever ventured beyond the porn channels to
see what else is there, you would have heard what specialty music channels
sound like.

from what I can read,your hooked up on it..

on my side,while I am on the mood for blues I don't want to hear any wannabe
dj telling me stuff I already know about such and such,so radio is for me
more annoying then pleasant ..and when I want to hear news...am radio is the
place to listen,free and all the news you want...

of course the sound is not so great,but this will be local news,not news
coming from one single feed,and for national news only.

I am on the road about 6 hour a day,I have connected my laptop(witch is a
helping me with mapping and gps too) on my car audio system,I watch some DVD
or downloaded film during my lunch hour, if I am not wardriving..

all this and I don't have to pay for a monthly fee,of course I did had to
pay for the laptop..but I had to anyway for my job..(tax deductible too!)

So xm radio,Sirius are not what I call an interesting service for me..

The thing is, that the service is satellite RADIO, not satellite
music. It was *never* meant to replace the CD player or iPod.

On the music channels, you have announcers throwing in a bit of
chatter now and then. They'll do stuff like lead in with some
history or interesting story about the song or artist they're
going to play.

A lot of the stations have their own and 'fillers'. For example,
when you listen to the 70's channel on Sirius it's really a 70's
channel with the 70's style 'jingles'. I prefer this to the
sterile perfectly spaced songs you hear on an iPod.

Not only that, but there is way more than just 'music'. They also
have News, Comedy, Children's programming, Sports (Talk and game
broadcasts) and a bunch of other 'entertainment' style channels..
You even hear the odd live concert..

It's not just 'music' :-)

Both Sirius and XM stream their programming and you can 'try them out'
on their websites. You should sign up for a free demo and see what
you're missing.

do not suffer from mental depression that I need to listen to former
loser heroin skanks whine about wrong coices they made in life but how
CAMH helped them.
I just want to listen to music, uninterrupted, for the nice leisurly
drive through the Halton Hills while go to and from work.
Satellite Radio is my salvation. Pop the unit in, tune to all jazz, and
thats it...no irritating DJ's talking about **** I don't care about, no
commercials, no traffic, weather and news updates, just music.
If it only lasts a year, which I doubt, it will be one year of bliss.

Some of you negative nellies who **** on everything because, well,
thats the type of ****turds you are, seem to forget that there are more
people outside Toronto and Ottawa.

There are millions and millions of people who live in places that do
not have access to the CN Tower, and can't pick up terrestial radio
other than maybe one or two FM stations that play songs none of us have
ever heard of. It's these same people who purchased ExpressVU and
StarChoice systems to get TV that wasn't available in their rural
areas.
Now these same people will purchase satellite radio for their cars and
home, to listen to jazz, rock, classical and other music, NOT AVAILABLE
OUTSIDE TORONTO!! Get it??

Just once in your lives, take your head out of your ass and imagine how
someone else lives and thinks, and maybe you'll see that not only are
there other points of view, but that not everyone thinks in such a
small and limited scope.

But I am like him. And there are many like us


I am not. I don't have many CDs (but lots of cassettes and LPs I could
encode). an couldn't be bothered making playlists and things.

I honestly prefer having a DeeJay program my entertainment for me.
I would get stuff I never hear, or not care to hear if I had to buy the CD
or online track of it.

I am not mobile, so a mobile audio service is not in my cards right now.
If I were, I'd be getting one.
