Starlink ordered… I feel it’s the only sensible option now..

Startink Mini power consumption is about 30 watts. It does have a snow melt mode for the mini but I haven’t used that yet in the U.K.!! The App has information on the power usage.

Neat package, though as it is not tethered by a cable would be even easier to steal than a naked dish if left unattended. I also wonder in reality how much of a benefit the increased portability really is. It looks too large and heavy to go hiking or biking with, and will also need recharging every day, so you are probably going to be carrying it in a vehicle where you already have access to a 12V supply.

In that case why not just power it from a cable. Admittedly cable length for a 12V supply is severely limited which might be what has prompted this design. However, if you adapt it for POE (power over ethernet) using a 48V supply as I have done, you are not limited in cable length in the same way you would be if just connecting to 12V. My Mini works fine at the end of a roughly 85ft long cable. A lot cheaper too than the design presented in the video!

Not as cheap as my full 12v conversion with the router inside the housing .... and not something to brag about usually, but mines a lot smaller than his ....lol

Anyone got a Gen 2 Starlink Dishy (Standard Actuated) they don’t use and are thinking about selling?

Thanks in advance.

Yes I have one which I'm intending to sell. I paid £150 for it so looking to sell for around £125. Message me if interested.

And mine's longer than his! That is to say it can run off a longer cable on a tripod when roof mounting is too shaded. The longer of my two ethernet cables is about 85ft and it works fine connected via that.

I didn't jump in because you had already asked, but I'm interested in getting another Gen 2 aswell if anyone is looking to change to a mini ??

If anyone has cut the cable to their router and kept the end they cut off (pref at least 4 inches as a minimum), I could do with one for my next project !! checkout the following posting, i would love to do some testing using makita batteries ..
