Hello,
we are currently planning our semi-detached house.
I wanted to ask for your opinion on satellite TV.
Would you still consider satellite TV in a new build at all? So far, I have had good experiences with satellite TV.
A friend of mine told me that from 2024, fees will also be charged for satellite TV (similar to cable TV subscription fees).
Is that true? What is the story with these fees?
Does satellite TV still make sense?
Yes, I watch a lot of streaming and on-demand services, but I currently still use satellite TV for live sports.

Disadvantages. High installation costs (unless you do it yourself). And less space for photovoltaic panels 😎 We considered doing it, but have now 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 a dish like this on your own. We ran the cable outside during the shell construction and then installed the dish after moving in.

FrankChief18 Jul 2022 16:32I would never climb onto a gable roof either.
Which antenna would you recommend to me—a classic round one, for example 80cm (31.5 inches)? Or one of the new flat antennas?
How effective are these flat antennas?

If you want to install a satellite dish, I recommend a standard one. I have an 85cm (33 inches) aluminum dish painted to match my roof on the north side. It is mounted right next to a roof window with a step, so I can reach it anytime without having to climb onto the roof.
You also can’t see it from the front. It is installed just high enough to have a clear line of sight. Flat antennas don’t give you any backup during bad weather, and you might experience reception problems in winter or heavy rain.
