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.

This speed of UP TO 200mbps seems quite slow by today's standards. A $100 for that speed?
With Xfinity we are paying $79 a month with average speed of 800mbps. What am I missing here?
