ᐅ Building without antenna and satellite or coaxial cables without conduit?

Hello,
we received the additional electrical work quote today (ouch), and the contractor is basically getting very little because we decided to remove both the antenna and satellite connections.
Now I’m wondering if we are really that far off base or if I missed something. The antenna is that old-fashioned cable through which you could only receive channels like ARD, ZDF, and some regional channels back in the ’90s, right? Are there more channels available via antenna now? Is it even necessary? Does everyone just “have one”?
We currently have a satellite dish on the roof, but I believe the last time we actually used it was... I don’t know, 8 years ago?
So we were thinking about not installing a satellite connection at all. We simply don’t watch TV via satellite. I hate commercials, and when we do watch anything, it’s through streaming services. Plus, in our free time, we mostly do other things than watch TV anyway.
Are there any compelling reasons why we should still have satellite or antenna connections installed that I might be overlooking?
Topic 2: The electrical quote states that the CAT cables will be installed without conduits. I would prefer them to be installed with conduits so they can be replaced if needed in the future. Would you go for that? Or is it unnecessary?

He is supposed to do it properly—that should be enough.
Without the pipe -> not compliant with regulations. So, he is not allowed to build it like that.
I don’t see any additional costs here.
Unfortunately, in practice, it’s not worth spending more than an hour discussing the “small but unjustifiable” additional 100 euros.

No pipe → not compliant. So he’s not allowed to build it like that.

Unfortunately, in practice, it’s not worth spending more than an hour discussing this for the "small but unreasonable and unexplained" 100 euro surcharge. That’s exactly how I saw it too. It would just be arguing because on the phone they claimed the DIN standard contradicts itself in parts (pipe requirement vs. no 90° angles)—she literally said on the phone, “you can also be BETTER than the standard, that’s why we’re leaving out the pipe.”

Nonsense! Idle talk. License to build should be revoked – period!Similar topics
