It isn't interesting how things are done differently around the country. A few months ago I did the cabling of the 3500 sq ft house I am building. We have Dish with the Hopper 3 with Joeys and WiFi in the house. The Dish has a single cable that goes into the house. I ran RG6 to eight locations, 4 upstairs and 4 downstairs with the coaxial 8 port hub in a central location. The Joeys work as they are supposed to and the single WiFi router transmits throughout the house as well as outside the house. IMO the key to having great WiFi is a great router, I am using the Netgear Nighthawk X6 which is an amazing router.
If you are using satellite internet it should make no difference to the WiFi router and unless you just want to run Cat cabling there is not a lot of need to. I struggled with this decision myself, since I had bare studs to work with. I chose to skip Ethernet cable as well as phone cable, I just don't see the need in having them, they would never be used in our home.
