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?

With the latest standards, it’s definitely not a crutch anymore, at least that’s what I wanted to point out.

It is still a workaround. Within a single floor, it might be acceptable, but beyond the concrete ceiling, there is hardly any reliable signal left. For a mobile phone or laptop, that might be fine, and even for a TV located right next to the access point. But otherwise? It’s just a makeshift solution.

As I said, I was surprised too, which is why I wrote that.
