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

I also had it installed and use it with a satellite dish. The savings are marginal if you leave it out, it cannot be retrofitted later, and I avoid potentially annoying questions from a prospective buyer later on. Depending on preferences and settings, this can become a real drawback when selling. For me personally, the offered "added value" is not worth the monthly subscription fee, and so I can now and at any time later choose freely (LAN is also available on every TV).

A few thousand euros are "marginal"? Where is the problem? You can lay empty conduits and then, for example, work with SAT2IP etc. if it is really important to you. Wow, I have never heard that someone doesn’t want to buy a house because it doesn’t have a satellite dish. :D I think such a dish looks really stupid and almost always disturbs the photovoltaic system. So better keep up with the times and have no phone and no satellite anymore.

For these hardest of all hours in the life of a Homo Sapiens Sapiens, I book 3 days of unlimited 5G data volume for 17.99 and set up a mobile hotspot with the smartphone...

That should be much more practical and cheaper than having a complete SAT system ready just in case.

Complete internet outages, however, I’ve only had once in the last 4 years, and the cause was a power outage in the entire district. It lasted an hour and we survived without Netflix. Got lucky again.

How many houses have you sold already that you know this so precisely? There is a lot of talk. If the buyer here wants such a crappy dish, I'll give him a SAT-IP adapter and give him 50 EUR cash for electricity costs over 5 years. Well, we don't have shutters and a kitchen from Puno, so we will probably have to give the house away in case of doubt.

Up above, they were talking about 50€ per outlet. In the general contractor contract, there will be 2-4 outlets included. How you come to "a few thousand euros" with that, you’ll have to calculate for me. In my contract, there was no satellite included at all and I paid 1500€ for the complete system including dish, multiswitch, and 8 outlets along with installation and cabling across 4 floors.


Exactly, saving 50€ per outlet but then having empty conduits installed at an extra cost. And the LAN connection in the attic. How much do you save then? Besides, I can hardly imagine pulling a satellite cable later through an empty conduit across multiple floors, it’s so rigid.


Maybe you are right, maybe not. The risk isn’t worth the "few euros" to me.

I never said that I know it. I practice risk minimization. Besides, with the saved streaming subscriptions, I have already covered the costs again. Then hopefully you have LAN in the attic and at the TV sets. As a minimum requirement. There may be people who don’t care about Netflix & Co. or don’t want to pay for it. Sat offers free TV.
