Is Satking still a go with VAST

Starlink will give you streaming services, phone and internet. Much smaller set up comapred
to a big dish but not cheap. If your only using it a few months of the year though you can just pay the
subscription fee for the time your away.

Had Satking for years and was very happy with it.

In particular the OUTSTANDING service and response. We had an issue quite a few years after its warranty period and they were incredible. They express posted a control box to the NT for us to an address we were heading for. When that component was not the issue, they expressed posted the whole dish to the next place we were heading for.

No charge ever! They simply said it was out of warranty by a few years but shouldn't have happened, so they stood by their product

You state the dish "is a pretty big full size thing" The Staking is actually the smaller footprint of the free to air Sat TV and is a square dish

I would back them 100 %

You can use a smaller dish travelling in much of the country, but signal may be a bit iffy when in the far north, so it really depends where you want to travel as to choice of dish size.
