TV/Internet combo

Internet capable TV with cable Internet and we watch Netflix mostly.
Canceled the cable TV so now we see ZERO commercials about drugs, attorneys for the lawsuits over the drugs and "You HAVE to have a new car" BS.
Then we also have a digital amplified antenna that picks up about 25 HD channels for free.
For you in your situation I don't know if you can get away from Hughesnet, but do it if you can as they suck every way you look at it.
Pay 60-75 bucks once for the digital antenna and no more paying for TV with that.
The Verizon Jetpack might be an option over hughes if it's available out there, and you can even take that with you wherever you want and have Internet.
At home, just plug it in to the power cord and leave it. (Those are wireless) so no other modem or router is required.
