I also have YoutubeTV and Amazon Prime configured on my TV's so it looks like we are set for television viewing.  YTTV also offers "cloud DVR" service so I can record anything that I might not be able to watch live.

It's amazing to me, a real geek how well Star Link works.  I watched a video explaining how it works, and it was almost "over my head". 

By the way, if anyone is considering getting Star Link, PM me and I'll give you my info.  If I refer anyone both that person and I will get a free month (a $120 value).  I am not pushing the service and I certainly don't work for Star Link or SpaceX, it's just one of the things offered with my new service.
