    Live view of the starling satilites. Pretty cool, getting to be less and less gaps.

      I am excited that I may be able to get service it in the bond g bend area, but $99 just for a promise of service?

        That’s one of my main concerns. Drop $500+ on hardware and be stuck with it if service prices go up or data caps are introduced.

          If y’all haven’t seen the Starlink satellites yet, you’re not looking. They are there.

          I’ve seen them several times, the first of which we were walking to the blind for a hunt in Dec 2019. I think we counted 27, but later found out we missed the first half as the actual count was 60. By the time they are finished launching there will be tens of thousands of them.

          I also read the more recent ones have an anti-reflective coating to lessen their visibility.. basically it’s “space camo”..

            It's refundable if you choose to opt out before they ship you dish when its ready.. I think one of the main reasons he did it was to show money coming in

              Yup freaked me out at first hunting waiting in the dark and watching lights follow in line through the sky

                I have no other options than line of sight and the terrible geo sync satellite. Current sat is slow, expensive, and just terrible all around. My line of sight some company is really spotty. We go down for at least an hour or two once or twice a week. I'm looking forward to this product... When I signed up, it said late 2021 and I'm here in Liberty Hill.

                You can download the app and stand where you want to put your satellite. It will let you "see" what obstructions around you will mess with the signal. If I mount it on top of the peak of my barn, it would be obstruction free.

                          Got it on order for Central Texas. Can't get here fast enough.

                          Can't do line of sight unless I built an 80 foot tower according to the tech that came out.

                            There are over 1300 Starlink Satellites in orbit as of today. I have been using the equipment and it is crazy fast. No issues to date.

                                Faster than fiber optic cable? Comparable?
