It will only have a transmitting LNB if it's already an internet satellite system - personally I've never seen one.

But basically you need the dish, suitable special LNB, suitable special receiver/transmitter, and an account with that particular internet provider.

There was a phone company in the UK a few years ago, that used satellite dishes, they went out of business and now I can't remember what they were called.

There are a couple in the US. Directway, Direct Tv. But when they started, it down was via sat and up via a land line. Now I hear they go both ways, but I heard the latency is really bad and with TCP/IP being packets, it might not be very fast. This was years ago, so they might have fixed it now with special software on the computer.

This guy keeps asking the same question over and over.
Does he think that it is an easy fix using a 555 and a high brightness LED?

What part of "NO" doesn't he understand?

I remember now it was Ionica but I was wrong, they didn't use satellite technology.

Hang around the public library.

The internet at the library stops all the "adult good stuff".

In North America we use Pringles cans.

OK - thread locked - it's completely pointless.
