I’m waiting for instructions on how to modify my rooftop Winegard DirecTv antenna system with a Starlink antenna. The elevation should help in getting a better view of the satellites. I figure I may need to run a new data cable to roof and get the antenna to point north. I would expect that in time such a mod will be available.

My S&B is where cell service is almost non existence and if you want internet better get a satellite. I placed my order last night and expect my area to have service late 2021.

Thanks for the heads up.

Some folks here in Medford OR saw the Starlink pattern in the sky last nite. Either that or it was some aliens.

Medford OR folks may have had too many mushrooms....

is the system portable now. I was told they were a ways away from making it portable beyond your home base

As soon as it is delivered, we'll find out

It probably goes without saying, this will probably be the future for those who do not have access to DSL, cellular or cable internet. From the reviews I've read, the equipment seems to be well engineered, but, not yet really suitable for mobile (as in different locations not going down the road).
My hat goes off to those of you willing to spend your dollars & time to figure out this 'bleeding edge' technology.

Watching the Videos on this Starlink service. Apparently the service is geographically compartmentalized. There are geographic limits based on the designated service address. So at least initially, this system looks to not be a reliable traveling source of Internet access. Clearly the technical ability is there as many commercial Beta testers are using this service on Boats, Planes and Space ships (Raptor 9 boosters). The limits are software based. So there is hope....

Looks like Mobile Starlink is coming Starlink FCC application reveal plans for satellite internet in moving vehicles

Excited to see news about this FCC application. One step closer to making Starlink available to RVers.
