I was just watching the OLD version, 5 minutes ago. Good work!

[@user-ci9vf1no5r]

Just used my Gen3 in the desert where there was no cell signal and it worked fantastic. 100 down and 20 up, better than I get at home. It uses the most power starting up, but we were still able to watch tv for a few hours.

[@waynert69]

Thanks guys!

[@Bobs-bd3yo]

Looking forward to seeing the specs on the mini.

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

So are we!

[@AbujaE-mall]

First to comments

[@Bigfishfun333]

Question: on an anchored boat, that SWINGS a bit on a windy day, does the Standard dish work?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

We regularly use our Standard Actuated on our boat at anchor. No problems so far. Sometimes needs to re-aim.

[@pooh4519]

How do you align the Gen3 on the prop stand with the app if there is no cell signal?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

The app can connect via Starlink without cell signal.

[@pooh4519]

@@MobileInternetResourceCenter Thank you

[@gustavozaratini]

Do you think there will be a new generation of flat high performance soon ?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

There is nothing currently filed with the FCC.

[@sunroameroverland]

Does anyone know a retailer, that currently have the Gen 2 dishy??

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Walmart and Home Depot were carrying them, but seems they have switched to Gen 3. Used is likely your best bet.

[@sunroameroverland]

@@MobileInternetResourceCenter Thank you. I found a new one on ebay. Be very carefull on used. most that way unlocked. are not, as they did hot follow the required procedure.

[@bradneuman8329]

Just started up our new Gne3 Starlink for V+RV and we are in West central Tennessee. We only get Dallas TX news and weather. Our mailing address is Excapees in Livingston TX btu received the unit in Eustis FL. Can't find out how to get it to travel with us. Thanks for any help you can give. Brad

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

That has more to do with the streaming service you are using and how they handle locations. Here's our member guide that covers that topic: www.rvmobileinternet.com/tv

[@bradneuman8329]

Hi, I think I asked my question wrong, not sure? We use Fubo and when we stream it via our T-Mobile Gateway, we receive local programming from each location we are in. Now, when we use Fubo over the Starlink WiFi we receive programs from Dallas. Thanks@@MobileInternetResourceCenter

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

You should raise this issue with Fubo support - they are probably using a geolocation database that does not mesh well with Starlink. This might be an issue that neither Fubo or Starlink is willing to solve though. If so - you might just have to put up with it.

[@bradneuman8329]

Thank you for your assistance in trying to solve this. I really appreciate it. I am surprised I can't find anyone else talking about this issue. I am going to ask some of my neighbors if they encounter this with their Starlink. If I resolve this, I will let you know. @@MobileInternetResourceCenter
