You don't need a Trav'ler but you need more than a dome. A regular full sized dome should get DirecTV programming to at least the line along which Lake Louise is located. The smaller VueCube antenna will not make it that far. If you move to an 18" antenna you should be able to make Jasper at least for the DirecTV SD programming from 101. If you want to get all of the DTV programming you are likely going to need one of the oval 18x24"(?) dishes either roof mounted or on a tripod plus a clear view to the satellite(s).
This is what I found last week when I was in Baniff and Jasper. My dome dish (about half the area of a 18" dish) worked in Baniff/Lake Louise and did not in Jasper on 101. In Jasper I used my 36" dish which gave me 85-90+
So, a 18" dish should give you SD in the lower half of Canada on Directv 101.
