The Hughes GEN4 satellite Internet system (also marketed as DishNet) is a spot beamed service that requires a separate dish and very precise aiming. It is not compatible with any TV satellite service dishes. Also, since it is regionally spot beamed, and neither Hughes nor Dish support frequent beam area changes, as we can do with the Dish local TV channel spot beams, the Internet service is not practical for most RV'ers. The service is expensive for the bandwidth allowed, and the high latency makes it impractical for many online games, if that's of interest. The high latency also makes it a poor choice for audio/video streaming and VOIP phone service use.
