for that you will need a phone line or some other internet connection
the satellite dish you have can only recieve info ... it does not have an uplink ... so you can't send requests ... only receive data

Oh, so just hooking up a phone line won't help. Ahite, den.
Still got TV.

Yeah hooking up a phone line is what you would need to do.
You need a phone line and modem (a dial up connection, or your cell phone and an adapter) this is internet connection #1 on your computer. Your satellite ISP gives you a number to call and connection specific settings to use. When you surf your internet requests go to their proxy server. It gets the response then sends it to the satellite through their uplink and it comes back to your dish to your computer's second internet conection, a network card.
At least that's how the satellite internet works in Canada .... maybe you guys got a better system.
