You buy the equipment no matter what............... And pay the monthly fee.

Sorry, what I meant was you can buy the system out with some additional fee so that there are no monthly fees at all. Isn't there? According to my cousin anyways

I think there is allways a monthly fee for the comercial free service, but I could be wrong.

You can still buy them in the states and get all the channels, I think the Canadian versions (good ol crtc) is blocking some channels

I had an XM system which for some reason kept loosing the signal and service. I replaced it with a Sirius. I prepaid the service (after buying the equipment) for a year. It was something like $130.00. Service from Sirius is much better but I actually preferred the channels on XM. Both were American (shhh) systems and tied into their network. Reception north of 60 on the XM was not that great however seems to be pretty consistent with the Sirius. HTH

for using sat radio the farther north you get the weaker the signal becomes i think alaska cant get sat radio

I have Sirius, Got that cheapie unit for christmas (think its $45CAD at Best buy now) and I pay $14.50 a month. This is the greatest thing! I've been through the rockies, no problem. Back country and severe northern alberta, again no problem. Some commercials on the comedy and talk radio, but none on the music, and it works really well

i have mp3/cd as well, but there amount of music on there is just amazing, stuff they dont even play in canada, i'll always have it now...IMO i think XM is better, i wish they had a few more punk/metal stations, but w.e. hopefully sometime they will add more.
