ᐅ Is a "Free TV" Connection Still Worth It?

Hi!
In our new build, there is a provision for a satellite system as well as multiple satellite outlets in every room. Now I’m wondering, is that really necessary? Will my children ever watch anything on free-to-air TV?
My children and I mainly watch Netflix/Amazon, and only my wife occasionally watches crime shows on free-to-air TV.

So my thought is to skip the whole satellite setup and instead install more LAN ports...

How have you handled this?

Of course, we have satellite TV... in case the internet goes down, I still want to be able to watch the news.
No one can really predict what TV will be like in 10 or 20 years. Maybe we won’t need it anymore, or maybe we’ll be glad to still have it.

You never watch the evening news? No international matches? No regional crime dramas? No third channel from your area? No cultural channels like arte? No handball? Ice hockey? Biathlon? No rock night on ZDF Kultur?
You poor soul… then you don’t need satellite TV and can happily stick to Netflix.

You are becoming independent (in my opinion). My brother-in-law is annoyed because he has cables from me and, in his case, no choice. Basically a monopoly.

No, never. Only every two years for the European Championship/World Cup.

But basically, it’s also possible to watch free-to-air TV via the internet, right?

But yes, if the internet goes down, that would obviously be a problem. Does that happen often? (Never happened to me so far...)

Here in SH, they disappear frequently.
