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.

Thank you! I'm a bit perplexed as to where to run it into the house. I really didn't want it on the roof as I don't want to go into the attic and down into a room as it would probably require the longer cable that I don't want to buy, lol.
