I certainly wouldn't do any equipment changes now since WSI is
feeding via the Sirius sat system & XM is via it's own system.
Things are liable to change one way or the other when they merge.


I have no choice but to change equipment here shortly. Most if not all
installed WSI In Flight receivers are still pulling data from WSI's
legacy satellite network. AFAIK (typing as a customer with a focused
interest in this), WSI has yet to begin shipping their new Sirius
satellite receivers to which we must upgrade.


Ouch, I didn't realize they were requireing the change now. That would make
me nervous as hell. What is WSI saying about ther XM/Sirius merger?
