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 don't know in what context you are speaking of, but on the US based
channels, there will be a barely percievable, if any, increase of cancon.

Given they are starting, they feel it is.

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
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.
