April is my one year Starlink anniversary. I live in rural Nebraska and most of the old houses have trees planted around them for a wind break, and they can be a problem. We didn't get much snow this last year but what snow that I got was not a problem, neither was the ice that we did get 3 or 4 times. New antennas and software now have multiple settings to provide more heat to melt snow but not just keep that heat on if snow isn't detected, but my antenna/system is too old for that feature. I altered a Dish/DirectTV roof mount that I already had to install my Dish. I think in North America all Starlink Dishes point mostly north to north-east, so use the app and see what that area of the sky looks like using the Visibility feature of the app you can download. Starlink is your internet connection, think of it as a ISP modem. I did not have to install any software on any computer or device except my phone, which has Starlink's app that you do your visibility scan to check for obstructions. Starlink has changed their hardware from when I got my unit. I did not have to use their supplied router, I just used the one that I already had and plugged it into the ethernet connection for the antenna on the power brick. Other than being a bit impatient because I didn't instantly have an internet connection (it took 15 minutes to finish connecting) thats really all it took, since my router was set up to use a telephone modem (using DHCP protocol) as my prior internet access and the Starlink is pretty much the same thing. But I understand that now you HAVE to use their router, and there isn't an internet port on the powerbrick for the antenna you can use.

Ed Your feedback is very much appreciated. Wonder if Frontier will let me keep my Modem ha ha
About a year ago I complained about dropped connections so they sent me a new Modem
even as non hardware smart as I am that was not the issue so like a honest fool I sent it back.
Guess it is time to buy a ladder and get up on the roof and do some testing

I am in a wooded area and have Starlink. I struggled with obstructions when the trees got leaves on them in the spring. I ended up having a 50 foot attached tower installed and put the dish on top. That solved all of my problems with obstructions and such. I love it.
I work from home. Bandwidth and latency are awesome. Just like I was at the office. I also stream YouTubeTV on 2 televisions while connected to work. Plenty of bandwidth.

Thanks for the response greatly appreciated.
I am guessing Michigan so Snow has not been an issue?
What router did you use ? I am plug and play not real hardware savvy.

Yes, Michigan. The snow melt feature works well.
I am using the out of the box stock router still.
I have had Starlink since Feb 2021 and love it.

There's currently little demand for "fat clients". If one was to decide on a career path and all one did is read job ads, one would conclude that all we needed is a little mobile screen and 2 thumbs.

In my part of the world less than half of the job descriptions fit your description and they are underpaid and overcrowded. As of today the highest required jobs here are embedded development (no finger needed as interaction with the end user is minimal if present) and data science.

I'm really interested in this. I've become quite fond of WPF over the years, but have very few chances to use it any more because most of my job-oriented work is asp.net now.

0) Start with Google.
1) Start paying attention to your surroundings. Look at the top of this page and you will see in bright red letters that this isn't the place for technical queries. So if you want to make people happy, post this in the right place. Happy people give better help than annoyed ones do...
2) Post it here:http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/ask.aspx[^] but think first: Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get what you tell us to work from. So write your question based on that!
3) Explain exactly what you have tried, and where you are stuck. The more accurate you are the better the response.

I would file this under everyone comes into each task with their own notions of what things mean.
No matter what you write down. the only thing they will see is Copy the VM. Not with networking and environment settings. All they see is copy the VM.
Sorry but this happens so often. People read the first 3 words Subject Verb Direct object and scurry off to complete the task. Assuming they "know" everything else about copying the VM
To err is human to really elephant it up you need a computer
