Does Sirius have  a 'blues' channel like XM?  3 jazz, 1 blues, a 'blue-grass', and Willie's country, a 50's doo-wop, and the led zep channel and I'm a happy rider regardless of the mood.  8) har!  :drink: spyder

I called XM when I bought the bike to ask if they would let me listen for a 30 day trail to sample before I signed up... I bought the bike used.

I found the US guys to be very polite and helpfull, but because I'm in the great white north, the transfered me to XM Canada.

The Canadian XM reps are jerks... everyone I spoke to was rude.

Still considering it though... is it really worth it, and anyone know if you can you suspend the subsription for the winter months?

If you have an XM eqiupted raidio, can your sign up for Sirius instead?

Hey Murphy, I'm a new subscriber, but to me, it's worth it.  I also like the internet XM that comes with the subscription......it's great having it on the computer while you're messing around here.  8) har!  :drink: spyder

So what did you go with Don?  By the poll, looks like XM is the favored.  You've saw mine.....hardwired on the bike with the antenna mounted in the fairing.....Jim did it.


 JC,

 I still have the same problem, I did put Sirius in my work truck because of the Football, But I sold the H2 and the motorhome, and my new SUV now has XM. So I'm right back where I was???

Man, you've been busy with the vehicles lately.  I sold my F-350 dually recently, too.  But then we went and bought a new BMW. :nixweiss:

By the way, let's get together one of these weekends.  Terrie and I keept talking about riding down to visit you and Suzane.

I sold the boat last summer.  I seem to run through the boats a little quicker, but think I'm about done with them.  I like to play on them, just don't like all the work that goes with the territory. :nixweiss:

Just a FYI for all the Canucks out there, the XM/Sirrius merger WILL NOT go ahead in the great white north. The CRTC is not going to allow it as that would give XM a monopoly.

Sorry Neal - missed your post. I don't know the details but I guess XM will have to maintain Sirius as a completely seperate arms length company.
