    Send them an email and see if you can get a rebate off of the hardware. Right now, in Canada, they are offering the h/w at 50% off and connection with 2 weeks. Got 2 separate emails from them in the past week regarding this. Maybe you might be able to get a better price. I guess with the latest price increase, they are not getting as much subscriptions.

    Apparently there is no email address to be found for them. I found one somewhere, but it came back as undeliverable. It was a good thought anyway.

I purposely set it up where I thought trees would block it, but it always worked. I did not set it up where the sky was more than 30% blocked, though.
    Do you possibly have any pictures of sites with high blockage that worked ok still? Or at least a more complete description of how blocked that 30% was? Was it dense forest? sparse branches with light through them?

    Well, I ordered my Starlink roam today along with a flagpole buddy mount for the ladder. They estimate 2 - 4 weeks shipping, so we will see. Excited to see how it works out, we should be bringing our 398 to the Thousand Trails seasonal site in a week or two and I'll get it setup when it comes.

    Just got my Starlink kit yesterday. I had it set up and running in about 10 minutes. I ran the TV, laptop, and a phone with zero issues. I ordered the Flag Pole Buddy to mount on the ladder and a custom 3D printed wall mount to keep it in the basement.

    Well I caved and bought the Starlink Roam service. The hardware should be here in early May.

    A couple of questions:

    How picky is the dish and system when it comes to trees and other obstructions? Most places we'll have a pretty unobstructed view of the northern sky but obviously there will be trees and things closer to the ground. I read it needs basically 100 degrees of unobstructed view and I'm wondering if that's a hard rule or a "best case" rule. I assume as more sats go in the air that requirement will get less.

    Where do you mount the equipment? I have a Imagine 2970RL and I think I'll somehow put the router in the passthrough storage by the utility center as that's where the cable will come in. I'm not sure about the dish itself yet. What's my best bet there?

    Thanks.

    If you have clear good view of the north you should be ok. I have an Imagine 2670MK. I'm sending the cable through the passthrough with the router in the basement. I am waiting on a FlagPole Buddy to mount to the ladder. In cases where I need to move it away from the trailer, I bought an Adapter to mount to a speaker stand.

    DW said go ahead (guess it pays for her to work remote part-time. $204 for the flagpole buddy on Amazon if I have the correct one.

    Check Tweetys. Just ordered recently and it was around $180, no tax. (For the Starlink specific model)
