Re: XM Canada and SIRIUS Canada unveils lineup

from what I can read,your hooked up on it..

on my side,while I am on the mood for blues I don't want to hear any wannabe
dj telling me stuff I already know about such and such,so radio is for me
more annoying then pleasant ..and when I want to hear news...am radio is the
place to listen,free and all the news you want...

of course the sound is not so great,but this will be local news,not news
coming from one single feed,and for national news only.

I am on the road about 6 hour a day,I have connected my laptop(witch is a
helping me with mapping and gps too) on my car audio system,I watch some DVD
or downloaded film during my lunch hour, if I am not wardriving..

all this and I don't have to pay for a monthly fee,of course I did had to
pay for the laptop..but I had to anyway for my job..(tax deductible too!)

So xm radio,Sirius are not what I call an interesting service for me..
