Anyone think Sirius or xm will ever include alaska in their coverage. Using dish to get sirius is a pain and i want it in my car
 
XM can't without a new satellite. Satellite Footprint:



Sirius has better coverage in Alaska due to the pattern that their birds fly:
 
That sirius foot print looks incorrect as I have majour problems with signal loss while in Ann Arbor Michigan right in town with signal loss from the sat and terrestrial pogoing in the downtown area. I even tried it ontop of a parking structure with a clear line of sight and the signals were still going in an out and I would loose reception.

Starmate replay unit.
 

Sounds like you have an issue with your equipment as I know people in Canada that have no problems receiving the signal without the use or terrestrial repeaters in their area.
