Just saw this in the newspaper -- might be promising for our Canadian members (but then again, with the way the hardware and software is so finicky, maybe it's just a tease for E60 owners...)

Well we know Sirius reception works in Canada. And I believe a Candian member or two has had Sirius installed in the US. But I suppose they would have to supply a US address to actually get a subscription - something I do not know. Does Canada require receiver licensing as I remember being the case years ago in the UK?

But were this to be implemented our Canadian friends would no longer have to be Sirius scoflaws

I guess that's my point. It'll be available to all, legally. Also, it will include some Canada specific programming, etc. which will provide more value to a Canadian subscriber.

I hope the retro fit won't break the bank ...
