TV / SAT-TV / Over the network or distributor and via cable in the new building?

I am also interested in the topic. I've been observing a few posts lately. Currently, I live in a rental apartment with a satellite connection, DVB-C on FritzBox 6490 (but not directly on the TV), Waipu (test phase). Now to my opinion: - Satellite connection: very many channels, has worked flawlessly for 1.5 years. With the new smart TV (for about 8 months), I have a problem with Pro7 and Sat1. The TV always shows a reception problem and it takes about 1 minute to decrypt and display the picture. All other channels work perfectly. Furthermore, I am of the opinion that one should consider things like lightning protection, wind, etc., especially in new buildings. - DVB-C: is directly on my FritzBox. Unfortunately, the TV is too far from it. - Waipu: currently I use it quite often. It works flawlessly, you can also record. It costs about 6-9€/month. I have seen that it is free in the basic version (but without recording). - DVB-T: I just checked. It is available both in my current apartment and in the new house with a room antenna. I just researched. Using the satellite connection as a reference --> Waipu: 2.3, DVB-T: 3.5, cable 6 seconds slower. Three months ago I was of the opinion that I absolutely must use a satellite connection. Now I am slowly reconsidering. If necessary, I can still use Sat-IP... I can imagine that in 10-20 years satellite/coaxial cables will no longer be needed (like telephone cables nowadays). Three months ago I was of the opinion

About the topic of media receivers with MagentaTV. I was a satellite fan for a long time, converted everything for as little attenuation as possible, Sky Complete with CI module in the Panasonic Plasma. Always only used DVB-S2, occasionally Amazon Prime on the Apple TV. Otherwise, actually exclusively satellite. Through an offer, I then received MagentaTV together with the Telekom hybrid connection as a gift including the MR401. I thought, I'll give it a try, especially since the Sky subscription was about to expire. Result a few months later: I can't say anything bad about the receiver. Fast, easy to use, I can restart almost every program if I'm too late, my wife watches her series via the media library. Amazon Prime is directly integrated and everything runs without crashes. In now 6 months the media receiver has frozen once. The tuner in the Pana with the CI module did that almost once a week. The quality is great and soon I will also convert the other TVs in the house, I think. Therefore, my recommendation even more: Good network cabling in the new building and you have all options open. Then I can also set up a decent WLAN and streaming via WLAN also works without problems.

If you look far enough into the future, you will be able to get everything via IPTV. Additionally, today's "linear" TV is becoming increasingly unattractive compared to "on-demand" streaming services. But if you look at today and the next few years, the possibility of a satellite system is quite interesting. Against this background, it is completely plausible to plan coaxial cables in your house (new build or renovation). But even more important is the already mentioned network cabling.

Sat>IP is actually an exciting technology. However, you have to consider the issue with the receivers. As far as I know, only Panasonic TVs support this natively. But they only have one (!) tuner, so you cannot record another program in parallel with them. A separate Sat>IP server (without a Panasonic TV) costs between 250 and 600 euros. In principle, you could also record programs on a NAS NVR with it.

Furthermore, IPTV and Sat>IP still have their challenges when it comes to CI+ channels. For example, we use IPTV from 1&1, which is based on Zatoo. This runs basically very well (with the new TV box and the integrated Android TV), including cloud recordings and the possibility to use the program via web browser or apps. But something like Sky cannot be used, for example.

In this respect, you have to answer the questions for yourself about how you want to deal with receivers and whether you prefer to use streaming services or linear TV.
