  1. Does not take long to reboot if you unplug it when not in use.
  2. I would say your outages are due to obstructions. Dishy is small and therefore does not have a large footprint from which to gather signal. As well, the satellites dishy is talking to are not geostationary. When the target passes behind an obstruction, you will get an outage. Northern Arizona has a rich field of satellites passing overhead. My location is considerably further north, near the northern edge of the satellite paths but have very few outages due to obstructions.
  3. I'm going to guess scottupnorth is not referring to elevation in the sense of height above ground or sea level, but rather elevation above the horizon that dishy needs to see. Unless someone from SpaceX steps in with information more specific to your geographic location, I think you will only find out by seeing what you get at your building. The phone app indicates a large part of the sky needs to be unobstructed for best results. I do not have a fully unobstructed sky to match the phone app, however, outages due to obstruction are minimal and tolerable for me with my install. You might get lucky.You get 90 or 100 ft of cable (I've seen both printed but not measured mine) attached to dishy to connect it to the power supply. I hope your house is close to the shore if there are too many obstructions by your house. Making an extension cable from Cat5E or better is possible, but quality of service is likely inversely proportional to the length of extra cable.
