Are Mini Outernet satellite needed for August 11?

Do I need a Ku-band Satellite Hotspot to use the August 11 Live Outernet?

I recently posted a topic about how you can build your own receiver for the Aug 11 broadcast. Here it is:

Sorry but this doesn’t answer my question. Do I need a Ku-band Satellite Hotspot to use the August 11 Live Outernet? (Yes or No)

What exactly do you mean by “Satellite Hotspot”?

In other words, do I need a portable Ku-band satellite hotspot in order to use the August 11 Live Outernet?

The portable dish/hotspot doesn’t exist yet. What you have seen of it so far is just prototypes of the device that is still being designed. For now, you will need a normal dish and other equipment listed in the post I linked to. Keep in mind that Outernet is still in technology preview stage.
