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.

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.

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.

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

I did and you seemed to question the position I had taken so that sort of
leaves the ball in your court.

Clearly you didn't research anything since your position is:
"Don't count on XM doing anything new until after the merger takes place."

Meanwhile they are implementing new weather features on a continuing basis.

I see it's difficult for you to argue against fact, but trying makes you
look foolish.

I didn't know you were in Canada. From your email addy, I thought the US?
Where at?
I am in Southern Ontario.
