Should satellite TV still be installed in the new building at all?

Garage roof is good if nothing is in front of it.

Disadvantages. High installation costs (if you don’t do it yourself). And less space for photovoltaic modules :cool: We had considered doing it, but have now also switched to the internet.

That’s why preferably not on the roof. No idea what a general contractor charges for that, but you can install such a dish yourself. We laid the cable outside during the shell construction and then mounted the dish after moving in.

I suffer from acrophobia, so it's rather not possible for me to climb onto the roof :cool:

Me too. Also, because of the accessibility of the dish, I would NOT install it on the roof.

I would also never climb onto a pitched roof.

Which antenna would you recommend to me, a classic round one, e.g. 80cm? Or one of the new flat antennas?

How good are these flat antennas?

So if you want to install a dish, I recommend a normal one. I have mounted an 85 cm aluminum dish in my roof color on the north side. It is located right next to a roof hatch with a step. That way I can reach it anytime without having to go onto the roof. You also can’t see it from the front. It is mounted just high enough so that it can just barely "peer over." Flat antennas do not provide any reserve in bad weather and you could have problems with reception in winter or during heavy rain.
