Hello friend, I have fitted the system with on GEM120 meter. Do you have one or two of this GEM120 Meter? .

Hello, would you buy a new DPA2017 for 930$ or a new mkh416 for 790$? I know is older but is also discounted. Thanks.

I’m going to replicate your system with 3x 9.5kw batteries

Which one is better?

Który jest lepszy Twoim zdaniem?

Hello friend, how is the system functioning now.

Just signed up to them to start in Sept. I’ve been told by them there won’t be doing IPv6 which is a shame so looks like I’ll be spending the £2 per month extra for the static IP address fingers crossed this works……

Thank you for all your videos. Proved very helpful to us when looking into Starlink. We have had Starlink for 3 weeks now. Before, we were on an old adsl connection, with 7d / 0.8up, with an average ping when gaming of 40ms. This gave a better gaming experience than Starlink can manage. It gets close but the ping does swing between 20-60ms during a game and you do feel it in fps games like cod. The thing is, whilst the old adsl gave a better gaming experience this was only if you had the connection all to yourself when gaming. If others in the house opened a browser or started a video stream, your gaming session would be terrible, with 1000+ms spikes in ping. Starlink however takes all this in it's stride. So a small dip in outright gaming performance, still very usable, is a price we are prepared to pay for the overall benefit Starlink offers, like a 20gb game update downloaded in under 20 mins instead of 6 hours! or a 4k movie streaming without a hitch. If you live outside the reach of fibre, have a clear view of the sky and can stomach the monthly cost, I recommend it. Regarding the phone app that you can use to check for obstructions prior to purchase. This had us checking the sky in a vertical to north easterly direction. Upon installing the hardware and aliening the dish, it wanted us to orientate it in a south westerly direction. worth keeping in mind when considering dish placement.

Excellent comparison! Imho the mhk50 constantly puts out a slight heavier bump in your voice, low to low mids, that makes the DPA much fresher to listen to. And I'm listening through Sennheiser HD 650, which are not particularly known for heavy bass, quite the contrary. But then that's just an opinion and anybody could have a different preference. But thanks for the video!

wow i have been here since the start im getting fibre in the next year hopefully!

there are posters going up outside my house saying full fibre internet coming to your street! it promises speeds of 1000mbps im so excited for it!!

My understanding is that if you have an inverter connected to the grid and the grid goes down the inverter shall automatically stop. The reason being, else the inverter would be trying to power the local grid circuit. This would be a hazard to any grid engineers trying the repair the fault. Also the inverter has not got the capability to power your street. Instead the GivEnergy Gateway AIO solution detects the grid fault and disconnects the grid so the house is isolated from the grid.

Heard nothing but bad things about set up and customer service RE: gigaclear. Any thoughts on that? Thank you

I find the MKH-50 to be brilliant outside, hence why I’ve never invested in a true shotgun mic. I’m curious as to your issues with it in this scenario which you never made explicit.

Wow. Amazing you got super fast fibre now. . Our gen 2 does what we need in the Philippines.. so good for us , as there’s nothing else.. take care and enjoy 😊

the mk works surprisingly well outdoors. Well, a good mic is a good mic, right?

You’re handsome 😉

I had Starlink when living in the middle of the forest in Oregon. Since moving to Indiana I’ve had gigabit fiber and love it. I’ve been trying to figure out if upgrading to 2 gigabit would actually be worth it. I’d need to buy a 2 or 10 gigabit switch.

Dang man its been a minute snice i seen a video from you . Miss your Starlink content but i just watched your video where you got fiber. If it ever becomes a option for me i would probably drop starlink, but as of now its a god send. Thanks for all you info .... And by the way you remind me of the actor Michael Fassbender.

When you had FTTC, how far was the cabinet from your premise DMARC/NID? What did the provider use as the last mile? Twisted single pair, Long range Ethernet, coax, etc? What was the physical handoff to you? We don't see that tech used across the pond.

Hey Gareth! How are you? 😀

Always happy to help, we're loving the videos! 🙌🏼

I have enjoyed your Starlink videos. Thank you for the reviews over the years. Glad you got fiber. It was like Christmas morning when I finally got fiber.

we got fiber To the Home in December and i gave up on getting starlink. living in rural indiana it was nice to be able to get fiber

At Minut 2;30 waterer you say in July 2024 going to get. my Starlin k so help me God. if you going to say negative stuff I am not going to change. anything over 60 MGBS air 40 Euros Months Plus 349 euros what can go wrong? Going heads DOWN.

Congrats on the upgrade and it was fun to see that enthusiasm again that we had at the beginning of your Starlink journey. Starlink did its job for its time and will continue to do so for others. It didn't move as fast or as far as was hoped. A lot of that had to do with other things interfering, But for the niches it is valuable for it will continue to be valuable for and that is a much bigger market than is understood. It just isn't the entire market.

You are lucky! I don't think my remote location in PEI, Canada will ever have a fibre connection. I will stick with Starlink until that day comes.

Congrats on getting fibre. Here in rural Ottawa, Canada it's still not available and there's no way the telcom giants will price 900 Mbps service for only $51 CAD (£ 29). It will probably be twice that, at least. Really. In the US (not sure about Canada), the price of Starlink hardware was halved, but you no longer get their router. Monthly fees are unchanged here at $158 CAD. I look forward to future videos, hopefully including peeks at the lambs.

Fabulous video, thanks for the information, i would love it in my village sadly not at the moment.

2017 sounds way better. 50 is boring and plain.

Even with TH-cam's compression, the DPA 2017 really shines through. The 50, 60 and 70 MKH's sound way too boring for me. DPA has a nice balance between sharpness, clarity and vocal depth. Nice video.

You lost me when you had a force charge not discharge set up during the saving session.

I have a similar set-up to you, but the gateway cannot handle more than one Inverter. I have two SolarEdge inverters, a 6000 and a 10000. The gateway was only allowed to take the 6000 and the 1000 is plugged into my switch board, this means that the GivEnergy App and Portal information is always wrong, my solar generation is always double whatever they say.

thanks for making this. helpful!

All very theoretical if it doesn't stop the rain ! Jeez whens it going to stop? Very happy with my new setup 9kW PV 5K inverter 9.5 battery, not used any grid electric since it went it in late Feb despite rain. I do have one q. I have two strings on the inverter cunningly called string 1 and string 2. Can these names be changed?

Good video but please stop confusing energy and power. Your solar panels are producing kW of power not kWh

I would like an AIO and the standby facility, however Octopus energy who are quoting to fit my system will not allow any EPS nor will they fit an AIO and gateway, they will however fit a a much earlier date than the independent fitter who are swamped with work. I can fit my own auto change EPS and connect to the system but should need to with the NEW system being fitted with Generation three invertor and 9kwh battery. They are VERY inflexible with their offering and the salespeople do door seem to understand what I am talking about. I would fit the whole thing myself but lose the VAT and save the labour but it is not what I wish to have or do , The ANO would not allow joining to the grid without the 99 approval which I cannot do as I am not approved by them as a contractor would be.

I am waiting for my system by octopus but they refuse to allow an EPS on the system as it is not in their repertoire . Also they have a very restricted view on what they will fit. No all I one with gateway just the basic inverter and battery. I am still considering cancelling and getting an approved Givenergy contractor to fit what I wish to have.

Another great video. Great presentation, congratulations.

How much for a lock of your hair 👀 the camera made it look irresistible 👀👀👀👀

Do you have an Instagram account?

I am advised , no idea if correct though , that the all in one system is to introduce the ability to add on more modular battery units.

Would you say the dpa 2017 would make a better on camera mic than a mk50 which is not mean for on camera it’s meant to be placed closer to subject

you should have also tested them outdoors or set up some noise in your space so as to show their off axis rejection and which mic has a tighter pick up

The first one

im coming! its too beautiful and tidy to miss all the colourful houses and the port, fantastic🥰

"He definitely knows what he is talking about"... my wife disagrees :)

Thanks for the plug.

By dropped the AIO , do you mean they’ve introduced the AIO as it is the system that seems to be the one everyone is going for atm rather than the hybrid setup that you have.
