Hi All. I've written a blog on some frequently asked questions about Starlink, in the future I'll be adding some performance data regarding joined or repaired cables, interference tests, and sustained power consumption logging under all different conditions, I'll post updates everytime a new test is done on the page and here https://www.antennadirect.com.au/starlink/ One common uncertainly was whether Starlink dishes interfere with FTA TV reception where I've done a few tests so far which turned out quite interesting and more to come. Another is the longevity of the cable plug end under severe conditions, e.g right on the coast with extreme winds carrying salt spray, whether the connector seal will or won't keep out 100% of the salt spray over a prolonged period. The deep recessed plug into the Gen 2 dishys pole is a good design but the seal doesn't quite inspire confidence.

I always aim for at least 97%, as the Starlink satellites always move around, it is only at the point when the satellite your dishy is tracking, orbits behind the obstructed area, that you will experience interruptions. Now the Starlink app has a "guide" after the obstruction test in which it will tell you what sort of internet experience you can expect. Hint - if you normally have GPS off on your phone, turn it on and let it remain on for 10 minutes before running the test, it will calibrate itself more accurately to the position you are at and give a more accurate obstruction test.

If using Gmail by any chance, try the "All Mail" folder incase it's somehow getting into other folders oddly.
