Install is simple. Basic grunt work.
Plant a pole where there is a clear view of the sky to the north. Bolt on antenna panel. Run cable (the hardest part, getting cable into house). Power up. Connect to your home network.
Antenna does not move to track satellites. That happens electronically.
No need to put on the roof because that extra 15ft height is trivial to a signal hundreds of miles away. Only reason would be to overcome trees blocking view of the sky.
You do need to buy antenna ($500 I think).
Subscribe ($100/month last I checked).
Link speed is a couple hundred mbps.
Cost wise, it is easily beat by the CATV or fiber physical service where available.
Would likely perform better than cellular phone network based internet.
There is a version for motor homes. Similar install onto top of vehicle roof. Costs are higher.
