Simple really....just be creativeevolv said:I tried jumping in on this offer way back in April. Bottom line, Canadians don't qualify, its illegal to have satelite radio from the US in Canada...
We got everything else, including HBO and Playboy... wtf ????
If anyone from Kanuck land can figure out how to get this, I'd love to know how you did it!!!

its not to hard to figure out, make up a fake US address if you have to, they will activate it based on your CC anyway![]()

Not to be a snit or anything...but Section 9C of the radio communication act says that its illegal for someone to decrypt satellite signals from any one other than a authorized provider.tekkie said:its not illegal to have the sat radio, its illegal for them to sell it to Canadians

This is correct.....Chum and Standard are trying to get a license to be a authorized provider of satellite radio.BondoBob said:Two things:
1. I just signed up.
2. The Canadian issue is this: The CRTC (the government agency in Canada that regulates radio and TV) does not allow Sirius, XM, DirectTV and the like. Most people I know that live near the US border get a Mailboxes Etc. address for the bills and sign up anyway. Satellite TV was a big business in CA. until recently when they started to crack down on folks with the dishes hanging off the house. The CRTC is currently holding hearings on creating a Canadian satellite service that CHUM Group and Standard/Corus are trying to get for themselves.
