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:

Kenai looks like it just on the fringe for Sirius.

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.

Maybe they changed their footprint since it has to cover all of canada now.

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.

People in Alaska already have XM. Sirius should work even better.

I think some of the Boats on "Deadliest Catch" have XM Radios.
