Anyone know if I should wait around for a dual tuner, any word on when they will be available?

You shouldn't need one. XM is already allowing you to add the "Best of Sirius" to your XM account. Basically, it's all of the existing XM channels + Howard Stern, Playboy, NFL, Martha, and maybe something else. The total is $16.99 a month. The info is up on the xmradio.com site.

our XM rep told me that they expect dual tuners to be available sometime around spring of 09.

yeah the Best of XM and the Best of Sirius packages will allow you to get 6 or 7 extra stations but with a dual tuner you will be able to get everything on both. so I wouldnt say there is no need for a dual tuner but it really will vary from person to person. depends on what your needs are.

good ol' canada... merger didnt effect us... so i did the next best thing and got both since i get them both free through work...

Now the real question is when will pioneer come out with a dual tuner and will they update the F series to be able to use it as something other than an external device....
