I think it might be just a bit more complicated with fast moving satellites.
Aligning your current antenna to connect to three geosynchronous satellites and be off less than 1/4 inch in azimuth or height and no usable signal. The antenna has to know "beforehand" exactly where the satellites are in space in relation to where you are on earth and start out by pointing it as close as possible in that direction.
In the future, Musk says, users will connect to Starlink with terminals that cost about $200 and can steer an antenna beam without moving parts. "It basically looks like a sort of a small- to medium-size pizza,".
Having tracked satellites in my past life working for NASA I'm sure it can be done. But, there will be obstacles to overcome like reflections from tall buildings, obstructions blocking your view as the satellite moves, propagation delay due to distance between current and the next satellite to pick up, transmission polarization the list goes on.
I look forward to it becoming operational but I know lot of details will have to be worked out for reliable usage, Hey nothing money and time won't fix.
