i found this in da bushes and I see it was already used for interwebs.

I live .65 mi. from a huge tower but my other dishes point the opposite direction (my active Direct TV dish and the old WildBlue/Hughs inactive dish).

Am i not comprehending what this stuff does?

I was thinking that I wanted to use the WildBlue dish as an antennae since its wired to the house. Then have a WG3526 on the other end (in the house) with my Sim card. Why do things seem more confusing than that?

TV dishes aren't the as best cellular antennas, because they were designed for the high gigahertz satellite bands (10-20Ghz), while cellular runs in the low to sub gig bands. Also you would need two or more of these to be connected to the modem depending on its connectors. On the other hand they can bake great pancakes in the sun. ;D
