Not sure which Starlink terminal Jim has, but I have a less than 1 year old "square" dish and no issues emitting or receiving RFI. It's right under the beams on the roof so it gets the full 1.5 kW from 50' away.
The service has been outstanding from a reliability perspective.

I have a Samsung flat panel (65") 10 feet from my shack and LED fluorescent replacements directly below my shack, and can't hear a thing. Issues arise when a manufacturer fails to provide for noise suppression in a particular model.  That said, Starlink terminals are becoming ubiquitous enough that it would be good to know how to identify RFI coming from them.

Ahh, you are a mind reader, that thought had occurred to me as well...

I also want to know what it looks like because my next door neighbor just put one of those flat panel antennas in a few months ago, and for the life of me, I can't see a thing from it.

It is maybe 70 feet from my vertical.  He has a long extension cable to run it as well.  I would guess 60 to 70 feet of cable feeding it.  I am surprised I don't see anything...  That is why I am really interested in seeing it!  I must be missing it...

73, and thanks,

What sort of noise does the antenna of starlink put out?   Do you by chance have a screenshot of it?

No, I killed it as soon as I heard it. When I have time after replacing/repairing 7 antennas lost in the winter's storms, I'll try to do that for your collection.
