SATELITE RADIO IN CANADA??? What is going on here???

[BrandAidDesignG35]

OK, I've called Infiniti dealers, Sirius, XM, future shop, best buy, all them looking for info on the factory "SAT READY" G35, I'm not knocking it, but the Infiniti dealer says... oh, the "Canadian models don't come equipped with the same wiring as the US models... and the dealer wanted 1000 bucks for Sat reviever... I kinda laughed, and figure ok, so I guess everything from U will be in the 1000s !!! lol anyone in canada with similar problem? what to do? what to do...

I don't know why they don't market Sat radio in Canada. On the other hand, I don't know if I'm going to subscribe after the trial period that ends this week. I've found about 10 channels I like total. In the first 90 days I've only put 1500 miles on my G. 500 miles a month means I'm not spending enough time in the car to justify it. If they allowed you to listen at home (other than on the computer), I'd probably do it, but for the car alone, it may not be worth it. My point is that you might be better off with one of those portable devices that you can take with you and have a t home when you want to listen at home.

I also only listen to about 10 channels mostly channel 100 for Howard SternI have both the Sportster and the factory Sirius. If you don't spend that much time in your vehicle just get the Sportser with the car and home kit. I have the home kit wired into my preamp on the stereo and use the sportster at work because I can't listen online at work. They block it.

I ran an antenna thru the hung ceiling over to near a window to get reception at work & have an outdoor antenna at home.

I think not only you should suscribe but so should everyone else. Especially since I'm a Sirius stockholder waiting for the merger to be approved.

Yeah, and I heard XM was losing money. 4 million customers at $140/year, is like half a billion a year. Even considering the expense of the satellites, $500,000,000 a year is a lot of income to go through, (even for my wife).

I can't believe the timing. XM called me tonight and I subscribed for 90 more days. I guess telcoman will retire rich now.

I've got my fingers crossed.
