Satellite Internet antenna near OTA TV Antenna

I’m getting HughesNet satellite internet installed next week. The best location for the satellite internet antenna is at the base of my OTA TV antenna. There’s already an unused RG6 downlead and proper grounding installed, in addition to a clear view of the south for reception. A Convenient location.

My question is: Since satellite internet antennas also transmit a signal, do I run the risk of creating OTA TV reception interference for my TV antenna?

My Current setup: OTA TV antenna is mounted on a twelve foot mast atop a sturdy rooftop tripod. The OTA TV antenna is aimed to the East, 25-30 miles away from the broadcast transmitters, so I’m on the fringe. I currently get Great OTA reception. The parabolic Satellite Internet antenna will be mounted on or near my OTA antenna tripod, approximately ten feet below my OTA antenna. It will be aimed to the South.
