yeah, important thing to note is that receivers bought in canada have a specifiy SID# which prevents them from getting stern.. even if you activate it on sirius.com (u.s. site)
weird.. so it's better to get a u.s. receiver, on ebay or from u.s. directly, then subscribe/activate online and voila..
the canadian lineup is basically the same, minus stern and about 10 music channels ..and in their place u get French and more intl stuff (less for your money)
