There are now also SAT dishes with IP-LNB (as a flat antenna). Take a look at the Astra website, or google SAT>IP Astra. The first entry explains it clearly. Then you don’t need any SAT cable anymore. The LNB integrated into the dish converts the SAT signal directly into IP and is also connected directly to the router. Nevertheless, you still need a SAT-IP receiver – or IP-SAT receiver – for the TV sets, because there are not yet any TVs that have this technology built in. For smartphones, there are apps (e.g., HD+ app) and for PC and laptop, for example, the DVB-Viewer, with which you can receive the signal directly. You then have your SAT signal distributed within your local network. You are thus independent of your internet connection as long as your local network is intact. If the internet goes down, it is 99% your provider; the local network, i.e., LAN and WLAN, remain unaffected. Only online content can no longer be received. But your TV signal originally comes from the satellite and is only distributed locally via IP. Hope that was understandable...?

Thank you very much! The advantages would therefore be that I can completely do without coaxial wiring. An extra server/converter in the utility room would then not be necessary, because it is essentially mounted directly on the dish. The disadvantage is that at the moment no TV can process this signal yet. The set-top box I will receive from Deutsche Glasfaser will also only be designed for IPTV. So I would STILL have to get a receiver, preferably one that can do everything. And that also for all rooms where there might possibly be a TV in the future. Difficult decision... maybe the normal satellite cables are still more sensible after all...
