Do you have a Starlink dish that has been sitting idle for over 21 Months? You have until the 17th November to pull it out and update the software. Unfortunately if it is not done it will Brick your dish and it will become unusable.
To update the dish it is just a matter of setting it up outside and letting it do its own thing for about 15 to 20 mins. You do not need an up to date subscription to do this.
Starlink automatically updates the software on its dishes, and there’s no option to disable that feature. That means this deadline will only apply to Starlink users who canceled or paused their service, but still have the dish. Starlink did not clarify whether this applies to Mini kits, but we think it’s safe to assume that it does.
