Mike please forgive me for going off topic.

We will buy the router, too.

Question, setting the TV resolution at 720P, will that reduce TV outage time when the Mini is offline for a few seconds then back on again? Probably like most folks here, some places we go there is no cell service or antenna TV reception.

 

I wouldn’t reset your TV.  Starlink is amazing fast with clear sky most of the time.  The router should help when you move the dishy to find a hole in the trees.  The times you don't have clear sky will be few and you will just have to accept no service or the buffering blips.

Now with the new Mini Router, a bargain at $40

Got the router, new in box, thanks Geoff -

Leaving tomorrow on a short trip and we will try it out soon. First try, I'll just use the provided power supply plugged into the 110V outlet.

Our TV is 1080p and 4K and I did not set it lower, although YouTube and other services often downgrade the res when download speeds are slow. Your TV will buffer and get ahead when the signal is good to make up for the brief off-line periods. We had little to no interruptions when this occurred!

I'll get to the proper "Where's Ollie" subject in two days when I post "three Ollies camping in the Arizona White Mountains!"

Thanks for the Mini info!

Looking forward to seeing the report on three Ollies in Arizona!

Bill, I think I may have started the SL diversion!  We also got the router so we should be set.  Some of our stops next trip will not have cell coverage so we’re looking forward to this new (to us) technology.   Mike

Ollie #113 is on way to meet new friends tomorrow!

We were here just 2 weeks ago. Was our last stop on the way home, and this time our first stop on the way out, 3 1/2 hours from home.

Great place! Last time we bought two nice samples of finished Pertrifed Wood. Wonderful Mother & Daughter running the shop! Free Parking on the east side of the park road. $25 for electric on the other side.

And if your comin’ here, don’t take my corner spot! 🤣

Nice pics, huh?
