What to do with Xbox Live?

I've got a little problem maybe some of you could help out with. I live out in the boonies and my only answer for broadband is with Dish Network. $50/month for their "silver" service. It's somewhat steep, but this will allow us to get rid of our home phone line ($30/month) and Dial-up ($10/month). If anyone has any suggestions on that I'd be glad to hear them.

But here is the real question. I was reading on the XBox Live site that it doesn't support satellite ISP's. Can anyone confirm this?

If this is true, would there be any problem with taking my 360 to my brothers one day and using the 48 hour trial card and getting the updates (mainly the mlb2k7 patch)?

Every Xbox 360 come with a Xbox Live Silver account which allows you to get online to get demos, xbox live arcade games and patches. The only thing Gold does for your is to allow you to play multiplayer. So you don't need one of the 48 hour cards...just create a silver account when you're at your brother's place and then install to your hearts content, then take your system back to your hut.
