Sirius radio in Alaska

I did a search and didn't find any information on Sirius Radio working in Alaska. My free subscription is ending this summer(while we're in Alaska) and I'm not certain if it's worth it to keep the service.
Thanks

    XM-RADIO COVERAGE IN ALASKA

    Doesn't look good for you...

    One comment said if you have a dish less one foot in diameter you will be out of luck...

  • Mine worked while I was near the ocean and had the sharkfin antenna facing south. When I was driving North, with the camper behind me, no reception. Driving with mountains to the south, also no reception... as I understand it, the satellite you're receiving from is pretty low on the horizon, so there's a lot higher likelihood of it being blocked.
