Hello everyone,
I would like to hear your suggestions on the type of television connection you use.
- Satellite (SAT)
- Cable
- DVB-T2
- Via internet connection
- Other?
In the age of Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and others, will traditional TV still be watched in 10 years? That’s why I’m considering not mounting a satellite dish on the facade (because it doesn’t look good).
Let me know how you currently receive TV signals in your new builds.
Have a nice evening.

Fiber optic here in the countryside – it will take generations! We’re glad to have a vectoring line with 100 Mbit/s download. There was a discount when booking the package. It took Telekom 15 months to install the connection to the house: they had to dig access holes in the streets, open joint boxes, and switch double wires. It was quite a drama. I believe there’s actually more fiber optic coverage across rural areas nationwide than in urban centers. I live in what you could call the Telekom capital, and at my employer’s office – located on the same street as Telekom headquarters – only 16 Mbit/s is available.
But to my question: Did you get the house connection with an €800 discount, or did you have to pay for the entire installation, including the work on public land?
I would definitely choose both options because you always have a backup. Speaking from personal experience:
With satellite, I’ve already had picture interruptions during severe thunderstorms.
And with DSL, two years ago a car took down the main distribution box in my area (no DSL, phone, or Netflix for 3 days), and a year ago an excavator damaged the main fiber optic cable for the entire district (no DSL for 2 days).
Currently, the DSL connection itself is very good, but the servers of various streaming services struggle because everyone is doing the same thing at the same time.

We also have fiber optic internet here in this small town, which cost €800 (about $870), minus €300 (about $325) due to a contract with Telekom.
I initially chose the smallest package, which is 50 Mbit/s.
It’s 1000 times better than a 200 Mbit/s copper connection from Vodafone! The ping is excellent and stable, no connection drops, and streaming two TV channels while gaming online is no problem.
