I think it's quite a controversial topic, but I would like to know how many sockets you have planned behind the TV. Provided, of course, that everything is organized in one place at your place. Sure, you could also place the receiver and media center separately and operate the TV via HDMI cable. Then the question would be how many sockets are needed at this separate place.

Of course, for us it is
- Network cable (preferably 2x)
- SAT cable
- Speaker socket, so that speakers can be routed to the back

Sockets are absolutely required for:
- Television
- Receiver/amplifier
- Media center e.g. media center PC
- Subwoofer (subwoofers usually active; other speakers usually passive? Don’t shoot me if that’s wrong; I’m no hi-fi expert)

Optionally there are the following
- up to 3 consoles
- additional amplifier
- Sky receiver additionally
- hard disk recorder
- ...

The required number of sockets therefore varies somewhere between at least 4 and up to 10. How many sockets should you install? Or just make 2 and plan a power strip anyway? Or plan 10 and it looks crappy? Oh yeah, we will have to set up the corresponding items described above in 2 places in the living room because the orientation of the couch/TV may be changed.

So, why separate Sky receivers, HDD recorders, and media centers? That works great in one device.

For me, there will be 4 LAN ports, 3 SAT connections, and 6-7 outlets.

A quick note about the subwoofer: why
does it have to be by the TV? Maybe the acoustics are better if it’s next to or behind you.

4 LAN and 3 SAT? What are they intended for? Well, I assume 1 SAT for the receiver and 1 SAT for the HDD recorder? What is the third SAT for? And the 4 LAN connections? Hmm... TV, console, MediaCenter... okay, that's already three...

For duo or quad receivers, otherwise recordings and simultaneous TV watching are not possible.

4 LAN ports for Firestick, Raspberry Pi, TV receiver, etc.

As mentioned, HDD and SAT are 1 device that gets 2 cables and 1 directly into the TV. LAN: TV, console, SAT receiver and Apple TV.

4 x switchable sockets (one of which is at TV height), 6 x LAN, 2 x SAT plus speaker & subwoofer sockets.
