    That mount is not plumb it should be strait up and down
    Studs are in the walls. RAFTERS are in the roof
    You didn’t even need to go that high up on the roof.
    Mount isn’t properly sealed
    Should have fished that wire down the wall instead of drilling a hole in your ceiling

      All of Musk’s businesses are crackerjack operations, nobody should be surprised that they can’t even portray a simple instal correctly.

      If you do get starlink, enjoy all your personal data getting illegally mined.

    I rather not support Elon Musk Starlink because I cannot trust what internet filters, propaganda, censorship and tracking Elon is doing to my internet data. Believe me, they know every bit of data that comes through their network – that is how they know where to deliver the data. How will I know that Elon’s algorithm is giving me full unfeathered access to the real internet, instead of the internet according to Elon, where there is a white genocide in South Africa and Hitler was not that bad? Furthermore, with how erratic Elon has been, when will he cut access to anybody he does not like? Finally, if you care about cosmology, Elon’s satellites are blocking every ground based space observatories as their constellation of 8,000+ satellites (40,000+ more coming) pass in front of the observatories every night and constantly blocks their observations.
