Default XM Weather in Canada


So a Canadian can now use a Canadian address to subscribe to XM Weather?

Whatever you meant, it isn't true.

XM has added Canadian weather just in the past two months. They
continue to improve coverage without an increase in price.

And they have been adding new songs as they are released. What I
meant by my statement was no major changes in the way they do
business. karl gruber wrote:

The Canadian subsidiary of XM is selling the music/audio element
but still just making promises about XM weather "RSN" (real soon
now.) The US website for XM weather now offers a range of
packages for boating; the top one specifically includes "high
resolution Canadian NEXRAD" -- so XM has access ot the Canadian
radar data; they just haven't gotten organized to sell
subscriptions to that data to Canadians.

The US XM site has online subscription forms; these only accept US
billing addresses and will not take a credit card number issued
by a Canadian bank.

Don't count on XM doing anything new until after the merger takes
place.
