Is a satellite system still necessary in new buildings, or is IPTV sufficient?

That’s really going too far, that I have to pay for the private channels, stream or HD or not. We will probably only include SAT because of the construction service description. It is currently not connected at our place either.

Only 4 to 6 years for me. Therefore, everyone must evaluate it themselves.

It can't come to this that I pay for the private channels, stream or HD or not.

We will probably only include SAT because of the construction service description. Currently, it is not connected for us either.

We also had SAT (installation) in the construction service description and were able to have the electrician replace it with network instead. So we expect 2 network sockets per room for free.

To each their own. Half a million euros for the SAT system got lost in the background noise for me and has long since paid for itself. So I am not dependent on any monthly subscriptions and don’t have to pay anything else.

At most the HD+ card annually. Ok, but we also don’t watch Sky.

I haven’t had TV reception for two years now, neither cable TV nor sat. I don’t miss anything. When I feel like it, I watch streaming (mostly Amazon Prime, sometimes Zattoo) and the quality is great. Nowadays, I consider sat to be money thrown away. In a few years, people will only stream. You can save yourself the ugly dish on the roof and then the weather won’t matter to you either. In my new build, I am no longer planning to include a sat dish.

I am also currently torn. The electrician from the main contractor offers me a 6-participant system (with multiswitch and surge protection) (where 2 or 4 participants would easily suffice) from Wisi for a gross price of €880. So a maximum of €500 would still be a consideration. But thanks to IP TV, which works great, I am really wondering if that might be enough.
