We are planning on spending next summer in Alaska and I got curious. Will my Direct TV dish work in Alaska? We have a small dish and a Monosat auto-alignment unit.
thx...

It's funny, but neither of us remember whether we did or not, but I've come to the conclusion that we did, because I'm sure I'd remember if we went 5 months without TV.
I'm sure that someone with a fully functioning memory will weigh in on this.

Just went to Directv.com and looked up retailers in Anchorage, AK. There are about 10 retailers in Anchorage. Must have service up there.

I was told that in Alaska they use larger dishes than the lower 48. We use one of the oval dishes on a tripod. Our DirectTV stopped working past Calgary. We just suspended our account for the 5 months we were gone.
We watched either park cable or local TV of the batwing while in Canada and Alaska.
By the way none of the DirectTV 800 numbers work in Canada so if you wait until you cross the boarder you will need the help of someone in the USA to communicate wiht DirectTV.
