Could a satellite dish used for FTA and pay-TV also be used for
satellite-internet or would an extra dish be required?

definitely be getting another dish. No installer will attempt to use an
existing TV dish. The dish will be supplied free along with all the other
gear, if you qualify for the government subsidy.
If your attempting a DIY job, and if your a nooby at satellite stuff, you
will not get it to work.
The first problem is that satellite ISP's will not supply you with
equipment. You can buy it off ebay, but you need an installer or ISP to
program the modem with your login details. It is not like programming an
ADSL modem.
You will need at least a 90cm dish. If your TV dish is 65cm it will be too
small for sat internet. You will also need to replace the TV LNB with a
satellite two way unit, and mount it so it is focused correctly. It is
possible to use a splitter on the RX side to get the TV signal, but it will
need a number of things to fall into line for it to work, like the TV sat
box will need to be able to tune to the RX frequency of the satellite
internet LNB.
If you are getting satellite internet professionally installed, you will
definitely be getting another dish. No installer will attempt to use an
existing TV dish. The dish will be supplied free along with all the other

The pay TV dishes are too small as a 1Metre dish is needed
for satellite internet and the receive dishes are not suitable for
transmitting.
The satellite dish is a much higher quality and the feed is
different as it has to allow for the transmit unit ( A BUC -
Block Upconverter) to transmit and it most likely would
have to be pointed at a different satellite.
A 600mm pay TV dish costs about $120 including LNB.
The satellite internet ones cost about $600 without LNB
If you have seen the dishes used by the fire stations in NSW
they give you an idea of what is required. A 1.5 metre fibreglass
offset dish is used with a 1 watt transmitter consisting of the
BUC on the dish and with a PLL LNB that is also much more
accurate in frequency than the domestic LNBs used for pay
TV is needed. The PLL LNB is worth about $800 by itself.
This is why the systems are expensive.
In simple words no way.

I use Foxtel. We don't have to move the dish in order to watch free to air.

wall. One of the FTA channels is an
advertisment for Optus satellite internet which I presume is referring to
the same satellite. I think it's Aurora.

Would prefer to use the existing dish and just the existing socket in the
wall. One of the FTA channels is an
