We have traveled to Newfoundland and Mexico and always had Satellite radio. This year we are traveling to Alaska and were wondering if we would have satellite radio again. Our DirecTV worked in the Maritime until we crossed over to Cape Breton. It even worked on PEI. After the Maritime, we did the Gaspe Peninsula all the way around to Quebec and had DirecTV the whole trip. Just thought I would add that for anyone planning a trip in that direction.
Just a note, but in 1997, we traveled to Maine and couldn't pick up DirecTV. Satellites and systems have greatly improved. We have the Winegard that works while moving.
