[Starlink] ch-ch-ch-ch-changes!

[Mr. Clif]

Hi guys,

After waiting for over a year, a couple of weeks ago, our Starlink 
terminal finally arrived. The original orders I placed never panned out, 
and eventually were canceled, but when I heard about the new service map 
feature on the Starlink site, it took all the guess work out of the 
order process.

I live in Eugene but had to select some small town near the coast to 
place the order. When it arrived, I tried to install the starlink app on 
3 (Three) different android devices, but it refused... Grrrr. So I found 
some third party Starlink app and tried that, but it would just exit 
immediately.

Though the surprising thing is, that when I powered it up in Eugene, it 
just worked without the app and despite Eugene not being available for 
new service. I also tried it in another town that didn't have service 
and it just worked. A couple of days later, we moved it about 50 miles 
from the registered service area, also out in the boonies and it's been 
working great ever since. Never touched the app, and never turned on 
roaming.

Not sure how typical this is.

     Ciao,
     Clif
