Default XM Weather in Canada

XM weather already shows most of Canada's weather as it is broadcast now. It
has ALL the METARs and most of the country shows up on the NEXRAD radar.

I just bought the Garmin 496 and I want to sign up for the aviation
weather service. Unfortunately I live in Canada. When I called to
subscribe they said they couldn't sign me up and I should contact XM
Canada. So I called them, and they do not offer this service at all,
although they rep thought they would someday.

I guess what I need to do is to provide a US address in order to
subscribe to XM USA. I suppose I could make one up, or hire a PO Box
somewhere in the US.

If you subscribe to XM Weather, do they actually send stuff to your
address? Is it important?

If you are a Canadian subscriber to XM Weather, how did you do it? Does
your Canadian credit card work, or do you need to use a card drawn on a
US bank?
