I'm about to purchase a new vehicle that has XM installed. I currently have
Sirius and will reluctantly give it up in the interest of simplicity. Is
the XM Canada line EXACTLY the same as the US XM ??

Thanks

XM and Sirius are both limited by the Canadian government to only having 9
US channels for every 1 Canadian channel.

XM Canada channels missing from the US lineup:

All but one MLB play-by-play channel
All but one ACC channel
All but one SEC channel
All the traffic channels
ESPN Radio
ESPNEWS
America Right (or whatever XM is calling their non-Fox right-wing talk
channel)
The ClearChannel music channels (Kiss, Sunny, Mix, and Nashville)
The ClearChannel terrestrial simulcasts (WSIX, WLW)

Those are the channels that jump out at me as missing. There's
approximately 50 channels missing (since XM Canada only has 120 channels
versus the US lineup's 170+).
