AW, satellite internet does not have a good reputation; it is the service of last resort when no other good internet option is available. You can do a search for reviews, most or all are based on the same Hughes satellite service.
Both Dish and Direct TV provide good TV service with reasonably priced packages that include some local stations. You need a unobstructed view of the sky in the direction of the providers satellites. It may take some searching but you can determine the azimuth (normally given as a magnetic north bearing) and the elevation to the satellites from a given zip code. If the general broadcast service and the local channel service are on different satellites you may need two antenna dishes. We have trees in the way so we can't get satellite service.
So my suggestion is to keep local internet service (Metrocast, DSL or cell based broadband) and look at the satellite TV packages.
