Location: Placerville, CA.... You know, the only place on Highway 50 between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe the you find signal lights. Above the fog most of the time and I can see the stars of the Milky Way 8 out of 10 nights. Kinda cool.....

Starlink? Take it or not?

The vent is where the Dish Tec routed the cable from the old system. I pulled it off to remove the old cable stub. I then drilled a 3/4” hole for the new StarLink cable. Once routed, I secured that with the provided cable clips and made a water drip loop. I then plugged the 3/4” hole with a provided plug and then ran some silicone around it to make it water tight. Then I got to squirrel myself through a small passageway to clean up the area and secure the excess cable to the point it entered the “old-work” outlet box I installed.



Took the extra precaution by putting a shroud on the main cable from the antenna. This side of the house gets relentless sun so I thought a little extra UV protection would be advisable.
