Has anyone installed a starlink satellite? Good or bad experiences?
I'd like to know if its worth it before purchasing.
Thanks

We have one on our houseboat. Absolutely love it. I’m on the lookout for a used system to use in our RV.

You need a good clear camping / parking spot that has good clear opening in the direction the dish needs to be pointed. If you're in a well treed parking spot, most likely you won't get a connection. The dish does not get pointed straight up.
On the east coast I don't think you're going to find good spots. The further west, due to less large trees, the better you'll probably do.
I have SL in Anchorage, AK and am not overly enthused with it. They launched over 200 sats for this area in Jan and Feb, but it takes 6 months to get them tested and in the right orbit so about July I'm hoping things will improve.
