    I have changed our WiFi password at home to "$5please". So every time one of my daughter's friends asks for the password, I reply $5 please. They usually walk away dejected. If only they knew.

    I’m sitting here watching the video and all the time I’m talking to the TV “it’s not gunna’ work… StarLink doesn’t work in the north until early next year”
    And blow me down…
    It worked!!!
    Well done guys!!!

    Haha, Love how you said Mega Bytes per second (it's mega bits :) ) then mega pixels per second when talking about 4G...
    Entertaining non the less...!
    Thanks good to see raw video like this, and the size of the unit.

    My starlink is a game changer for me . Very poor service resolving issues though, mine took three months with the monthly payments drama I experienced. Be sure that the payments go through, it worked for four months then It was cut off. I love the shit yous put that old Kombi through.

  • @jed2055

    Run it straight from your 12v battery. It can be done and it will halve your power usage (I've been informed). First thing you need to buy is a IOP. Starlink sell its Ethernet adapter for around $80. An IT smart friend of yours can adapt it and get a buck converter to up the Kombi battery to 48volts (don't panic it isn't hard to do). Anyway, all instructions are online so its an option to consider, okay.
    Overseas people like Canadians and northern USA viewers can only dream of walking on a beach in OZ. The beautiful warm sun, the smooth sand between your toes and that lovely cool dip in beautiful blue sea at the end of your walk. Now that's why it's called the lucky country.

    Starlink installer here... you will find that the speed will vary from time to time and you can expect up to 270Mb download but upload won't be huge.....best I have had in Victoria is around 18Mb. $139 a month is comparable to a decent 100/40 NBN fibre connection these days so I think the value is superb.

  • @themacs488
    @themacs488 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Love the videos, you lot are great. Obviously you run the dish through an inverter, and idea how much Amps per hour it pulls out of your 12v system?
    Keep safe and thanks for all the fun videos.

  • @petecabrina
    @petecabrina ปีที่แล้ว

    Really curious how direct the RF signal is from the satellite to the dish on the ground with this technology? Or whether it is putting off RF signals around the whole area? Last thing you would want is one of these on top of your camper or RV IMO, just more EMF smog gradually degrading the functionality of your mitochondria and cellular function. If it is very direct that is kind of cool, maybe there is not much of a field created at all.
