@metalheart when using the app to scan for obstructions, you need to slowly rotate the phone 360 in the horizontal plane. If you don't get 100%, look at the image and then try to move the camera to point toward any dots left on your screen, typically above or below your pan.

All the best,

Peter

Once you get SL up and running for about a day the Visibility part of the app will give you a rotating 3-D view showing any obstructions in red. I’d recommend that if a temporary install is possible.

I’ve had StarLink for 4 months now. Very pleased. I called Windstream yesterday to cancel the all-in $105/month decent 12 Mbps DSL service. Windstream customer retention lady offered me a year at $55 including fees/taxes a month to stay with them. Pizzed me off. I‘ve run into this cr@p before with insurance carriers, SirusXM, and others. A way to save some $$$ if you want to play their game. 😡
I do this all the time. When the initial contract runs out call and say you want to cancel. They will reduce the price for a period of time. Repeat when that time frame runs out.

I go through the dance every year with SiriusXM. I have 5 subscriptions and get them for $6ea month instead of $18mo. I call and tell them to cancel if they won't give me that rate. They've always dropped the rate.

Why so many subscriptions?

Can you have more than one vehicle on a SiriusXM account? I have one on my truck and wifie has one on her Yukon. Two different numbers.
I had a XM account, wife had a Sirius account. After the companies merged, the accounts where combined in 2013.
We just make one payment now.

Yeah, I have to go thru that BS every year with my wife's car. If it were up to me I'd just cancel it and be done but I'd never hear the end of it if I did.
How'd you get it down to $6? Cheapest they'd go with me was $8.99.

We have 3 vehicles used regularly
I kept a subscription for my main daily driver, plus a subscription on a "boom box" so I have music anywhere-- even with no wifi in a forest.

For everything else, I just stream it using my phone.

Not sure, I just threaten to cancel. It's actually $5.99+1.28 royalty fee or $7.27 total. Promo deal but I've had them all for 5 yrs. Every May my wife reminds me to call and do the dance. 🕺

When we bought the Yukon in 2008 we got the lifetime XM radio. Should have bought that on my 2500 when I bought it in 2011 but didn't think I would need it.

Do any of you have the dish still in the box, or on the ground and a pair of calipers?

are any of you using the HF collapsible flag pole with it?


if you do, please let me know. I am trying to make and adapter to fit both of them together and I don't own either.

I highly recommend getting the pipe adapter from Starlink. It comes with several different size set screws and will fit just about any size pole. It also comes with a nice bag to carry the dish in while climbing a ladder. Also has a box of cable anchors to install the cable.

It was $39 delivered. The dish snaps into it and also allows for running the cable inside the pipe if you choose. Well worth the price for a easy pole install.

Any chance anyone using Ubitquiti USG connected to SL modem? Were you able to set it up to work without putting SL in bypass?

doesn't matter what router your using. if you don't want to bypass, just plug into the wan port on the usg, and make sure the subnets don't overlap. its double nat, but they are giving out cgnat, so it doesn't matter for 99% of people

Thanks, not sure but may have IP conflict? Originally the USG was in place between my Mofi modem and Unifi switch, but switching out SL for the Mofi and I don’t get internet. If I remove the USG and connect SL to switch WAN it works great. Maybe if I factory reset USG and readopt? My networking skill are rather light.

try rebooting the usg after plugging in the SL
