Hello everyone,
Our construction is nearly complete, and we are really looking forward to moving in at the beginning of October. However, after everything went very smoothly, a (albeit small) problem has come up:
We had planned to use IPTV for television reception since a bandwidth of up to 50,000 kbits/s (50 Mbps) is available in the residential area. However, it turns out this is not possible via Telekom, but only through the local energy provider EWE operating in the Bremen area. EWE does not offer IPTV, and Telekom and 1&1 only provide up to 16,000 kbits/s (16 Mbps). Vodafone does not support IPTV at our location. Now, I am concerned that 16,000 kbits/s (16 Mbps) might be too slow, especially since the actual speeds at the location are often much lower... Would it be possible to subscribe to an IPTV package without internet service, so I could get the 50,000 kbits/s (50 Mbps) from EWE and IPTV from another provider? As far as I know, this is not possible. Do you have any other ideas?
EWE offers an app #link removed; Epi that allows watching 50 TV channels online, including 8 in HD. However, the app can only be used on laptops, tablets, and smartphones. In theory, it might also be installed on the new Apple TV device via the App Store, which could be a temporary solution.
What would you do?

who knows kodi?First, I had to look it up... I still know it by its old name, XBMC. I had it installed on the Raspberry Pi.
It has become a very powerful program by now.
IPTV, Netflix, Sky, Amazon Prime, etc.
Ambilight control
I’ve also been using it for 8 years, back then with a Fantec multimedia hard drive.
There is nothing that doesn’t work there. For the first steps, the HSK tool is helpful.
The postal code in the top left is not my location. 😉
Having a VPN provider is an advantage.
I mostly use it for foreign channels.

There are many providers, but very few are legal. Alternatively, put it on the roof and use an IPTV receiver to stream yourself.May I refer to this again?
Does this mean I can place a receiver in the basement or attic and stream its video throughout the house via LAN? And then also control it remotely over LAN?
The background is that soon every technology will require its own special cable, increasing the complexity of wiring. However, having two quality network cables or a fiber optic cable in every room would not be a problem and would be quite future-proof with this option.
Is this possible? That would be ideal: LAN in every room and, depending on needs, use it for phone, internet, NAS, TV, intercom, door communication systems, etc.
Yes, that is possible, and I will do everything via LAN. The TV server, NAS, etc., will be located in the technical room. Currently, it looks like a small Raspberry Pi behind the TVs will serve as the receiver.
There are different ways to implement something like this. You'll need to do some research.
