Check out http://www.siriuscanada.ca it's loaded with lots of useless info. Lots of vague claims. Nothing concrete on the channel lineups.
I've heard/read that yes sirius canada will carry ALL the current sirius channels. I've hear/read that it will carry MOST of the channels.
Americans will be able to listen to the CBC1 & the other Cdn. channel, high american listenership is not expected.
I'm expecting the Canadian Sirius to be the sad north of the border watered down version of an american product.
Much like ExpressVu to DishNetwork, Space ch. to Scifi ch., muchmuzak to MTV, TMN to HBO,Turner etc.
A studio in CapeBreton is nearly complete, that's the only info i've found that seems acurate.
My truck driver neighbor said his buddy gets strong sirius signal up past Dryden ON. The signal at times will cut out up 10min, but that's rare. He figures it's the result of jumping from 1 satelite to another (of the 3).
In Ontario, American (grey-market) Sirius gear can be purchased from The Ottawa Truck Centre ( according to Bluetoy) and Kenworth dealerships.
I will likely be purchasing greymarket unit myself. Or getting a Panasonic HU which currently supports the service.
