    Does anyone have experience with installing/using Starlink on your RV?  I have a 40’ Disvovery XLE.  the dealer isn’t sure if the pre wiring for the TVs is factory installed.  I don’t know what to look for.  Owners manual says the TVs are prewired for Direct TV & Dish Network.  Could the Starlink required cabling be different?  

    thanks.

    Starlink is an amazing piece of technology but it will only supply your wifi connection. You will need some other provider to enable wireless Cable or streaming services. We use Firesticks as we have an IPTV subscription. These can be used for Netflix, Paramount, etc...as well. They essentially turn your TV's into smart TV's as depending on how old your TV's are they may not be smart. We have also used Starlink with Spectrum wireless cable and it works very well. There is no special cabling required. We fed the Starlink cable through the bedroom slide on the bottom as there is room there under the rubber seal. We also bought a pole from Starlink and bungie wrapped it to the rear ladder. We take everything down while travelling. Hope this helps.
