Yes, you can use a Gemini that has the DTV satellite firmware installed. It is connected to the HS17 Genie2 by coax with an adapter or by using the WVB built into the HS17 Genie2 that will also provide internet if the HS17 Genie 2 is connected to the internet but with that slow download speed all you can do is record On Demand to view later, you can't stream. You can keep Dish if you want to pay for both. You may have to look into satellite ISP like StarLink or Hughes.net
