streaming!?

Streaming can work on as low as 3Mb/s, turn your resolution down to 720p if your on anything smaller than a 48". Dont even waste your time on a laptops screen at 1080x, just overkill for that small of a screen. Satellite cannot do upstream (no transmit equipment) so youll have to have an upstream "channel" via the phone line. Those Wifi hotspots are pay as you go so if your streaming on one, youll be paying for that data throughput as well as the subscription to the bulls unless they factor that in. The hotspots are not stream worthy in my opinion, very bursty. HughesNet is/was a bi-directional satellite data service, but it was pretty expensive and latency was an issue, probably OK for streaming if they were fast enough.
