I zip tied mine to the top of an old dead tree over a year ago and have had excellent results ever since. I watched this video because I was thinking I should mount it more professionally. Now I'm thinking if it aint broke, don't try to fix it

[@TEHNOOB916]

If it ain't broke no need. Lol.

[@imcrow6674]

ah just add another zip tie and make sure shes good for another few years unless the tree falls down i guess

[@robertbenoit5374]

Jerry rigging is a great idea if you are going to be cheap but I live in a hurricane prone high wind area and Zip ties on a dead tree will not work. A good wind will take it down. Good job to you though you went EL CHEAPO.

[@sumtingwong4997]

You're right about florida hurricanes. I live here too in the panhandle. I did end up ordering the pole adapter and installed it on my pole barn with a heavy 10' steel pole welded to my steel trusses. It did do fine in that tree for a while though. I put it there for a quick test and never took it down and also never had a problem. I've been lucky.

Use stainless steel zip ties or UV will damage the plastic and you will find your dish hanging😂

Enjoyed the WIFI, but Starlink's customer service is close to worthless. Had it not been for Mr. J Christina's videos I would not have figured out how to "communicate" with Starlink. The email and thumbs down method gave me access, but Starlink's responses to simple questions were ridiculous ! After 3 months I sold my "Roam" gear and transferred my serial # etc to someone else using the excellent videos. Again thank you Mr. Christina for all your videos/help ! After reading other comments below, I can see that the monthly cost will continue to rise and make it prohibitive. I don't do a lot of streaming or downloading so my phone carriers WIFI (Mint) is just fine. I also see I paid $100 more through Starlink to buy my gear, when I could have purchased through Best Buy !

I got my system running in about 30 mins. Though I am curious as to why the chap in the video says your Starlink dish will face north if it is in the northern hemisphere. I am in the Scottish Highlands west of Inverness. My dish faces south! But it works. 😊

[@AgentExeider]

He most likely misquoted, Sat devices like Starlink are supposed to face south in the NORTHER hemisphere and north in the SOUTHERN Hemisphere, because the satellite networks run in a band using the equator as the center point.

[@Mike-mr8ui]

@@AgentExeider That's not accurate. You are describing systems that use geostationary satellites. Starlink uses hundreds of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), and the dish will point to the part of the sky with the highest concentration of satellites at any given moment.

[@ssow7622]

chap what are you yapping about

[@robertbenoit5374]

it's kinda obvious if you are in North America, the Satellites are in the northern sky but if you have the motorized dish it will move to the best position within a minute of hookup. I recall when I had Satellite TV we were required to have a clear view of the South Sky. I never had an issue because back then I lived across the street from ESPN the Worldwide Leader in Sports. Never had a problem with TV signal. Best 2 years of my life when I had Satellite TV.

[@Tommo020788]

I was kinda surprised that the router I received doesn't have any Ethernet ports on it, so it's a wifi only router? This is kinda odd, and considering how much it cost, I would have expected the router to have at least 1 or two Ethernet ports, especially considering this is not a portable setup, and wired connections work a lot better in a house with walls, not to mention most PC's don't have a wifi card built in, so now I gotta go shopping just to connect my pc to my router

how did most people run the cables into their houses etc.

[@robertbenoit5374]

you need a drill and a boring bit to drill through the wall or if you have brick/cement a mason bit to run the wire through. Starlink sells the installation kit on their website but I didn't purchase my system on their website. My reason is because until you actually sign up for the service, you don't have access to their website which is a load of BS in my opinion. I bought mine on Amazon (Ironic as Amazon will soon have a competing product once they get approval from the FCC and FAA) My point is I don't like having to be forced into something until I am ready.

[@paulfreeman1778]

I drilled through a wooden door frame, wooden window frame also a possibility. My stone house is a hundred years old with 3 feet thick walls.

[@xdairybastardx]

I need advice from someone who may know. My state is slowly getting it, but it says "coming soon" on my exact spot. Let's say I hypothetically got starlink right now, would it work at all? Like would it ping a far away satellite and give me a shit connection or would it just not even work? Plan on buying this soon anyway im just wonder if i can get away with having it before my area "technically" is covered

[@wsmiles8677]

You get put on a waitlist or coverage isn't available. You won't even be able to get it unless it has a waitlist available, even then you have to wait a while after signing up.

[@cantgo2fast]

Having used the Roam system for months I dont see why it wouldn't work for residential use. You would just need to find a convenient spot to get the starlink cable through a wall and into the house. Might be able to use an existing old phone or cable access point.

[@scottcarr1534]

Your phone doesn't come with the app or more commonly known as "program" for operation. You need to read the instructions and use the app program to find the signal for your area, then set up the signal collector dish, and it should find the signal from the satellite itself. If you're not tech savvy, you'll need to hire a tech to install for you. I set mine up in 25 mins. But I'm very tech savvy. Good luck!
