Starlink Direction of Dish

The Starlink ground dish should be oriented toward a clear, unobstructed view of the sky to ensure optimal satellite signal reception. The exact starlink direction depends on your geographic location and the dish's automatic setup requirements. Here are some general guidelines:

 

1. Point Toward the Sky:

The Starlink dish needs to face an open area of the sky with minimal obstructions. Avoid placing it near tall buildings, trees, or other objects that could block the signal path.

2. Automatic Alignment:

Starlink dishes are equipped with automatic alignment features. Once installed in a suitable location, the dish will adjust itself to the optimal direction for signal reception.

3. Geographic Considerations:

• In the Northern Hemisphere, the dish generally points toward the northern sky, as most Starlink satellites orbit in mid-latitude regions.
• In the Southern Hemisphere, the dish typically points toward the southern sky.
• Use the Starlink mobile app to scan the sky and determine the best installation spot.

4. Tilt Angle:

The dish will automatically adjust its tilt angle based on your location and satellite constellation coverage, so manual adjustment is unnecessary.
