Any satelitte systems for both TV and Internet combined?
I am wondering if there is a combo dish solution for TV and Internet?

I looked hard at sat internet when Motosat was getting popular.
The speed is tolerable say on a longer download. What sucks what’s called latentcy.
Data goes up from your dish to a sat, gets processed, then sent back to earth to their receiver, routed to the appropriate place in the internet, back to the big dish, back to space, routed, then back to you. So lots of back and forth like gaming, and it’s slooooww.
That was your father's HughesNet (Ku band). The current HughesNET Gen 5 (Ka band) is much faster (~ 20Mbps). Latency is still an issue, but I haven't found it to be a deal breaker.
OP, if you want internet satellite service, I think you're best bet is a portable HughesNET Gen 5 setup.
