pachapapa Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 It is an alternative to Internet TV when the ADSL bandwidth is insufficient to support TV, the TV & VOD is then sourced by satellite.It is not relevant to your farmer problem as the service requires the existence of a physical telephone cable to your dwelling.Free will be introducing something similar in February.

Pierre ZFP Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 As said above, the satellite is only for download, not sending anything to the server for which you need a landline or a GPRS dongle (not sure if that would work with a Sat link without a lot of fiddling). If you've ever seen the size of dishes used for uplinks of news broadcasts and similar you would see that you need around a 5 metre dish with sophisticated tracking and power requirements - mega bucks !!If you don't have big download needs and have good mobile coverage you might do well to consider a GPRS dongle anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
