I was wondering...

XM Satellite radio is illegal to have a subscription in Canada. If a US resident had an XM Satellite Radio in their car and then drove over the border into Canada, does the recent Supreme court ruling (as written) mean they are breaking the law because they are decoding a foreign signal in Canada? Or does the ruling only apply to Satellite TV signals?

On a similar note, what if a US mobile home equipped with DirecTV were to cross the border and receive a subbed signal? Does this law only apply to Canadians who live in Canada?

Just a thought...

I guess it may be the same as an American Resident entering into Ontario with a Radar Detector. They don't confiscate it they just warn you not to use it while in Ontario.

Dope the DTV dish cant come into Canada.. it doesnt matter if the guy has it on his mobile home. The RCA applies to everyone including visitors. They have to follow all our laws..
