The Foxtel satellite is geostationary also.

Realigned as is carried out when first aligned with a simple instrument. Same as foxtel, etc.

My neighbour has had one for years.

Who's got Imparja? Same again.


 It is not the same as Foxtel, Skymuster is specifically designed to not enable it to be used anywhere except the exact location it is installed.   Any movement at all is detected and the account shut down, it is a subsidised system designed for home use only in places where fibre nbn has not been installed.    Nobody uses it when travelling because it is simply not possible to do so.  


 Not going to argue - friend does it yearly. Takes it all with him - his set-up is just as I have for Fox on

a collapsable stand.

Anyway, logically how would skymesh know where the antenna is?


Quite possibly the same way Starlink know where my dish is... via its embedded GPS chipset which locates it to about 5m resolution anywhere on the surface of the planet.

No doubt, as Meredith pointed out, this is why it won't work if moved a short distance - it is "geo-fenced".

But you probably have a mate who knows better.
