Hello everyone,
Please forgive me if I haven’t searched through hundreds of pages. My basic question is whether you still consider a satellite dish necessary or if you would just skip it altogether. About our profile: When we watch TV, it’s exclusively public broadcasting channels and no private channels. However, mostly we watch on-demand content like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and so on. In this context, we’re really starting to doubt whether we can save ourselves the 850 EUR gross. What do you think? Should we just stream the public broadcasting channels via Apple TV, or is it still better to have a satellite dish installed?
Thanks & good luck, Commanderchen

When we are on site at the house, we check the pipes; maybe it is possible to install coaxial cable without much extra effort (breaking out walls or cutting channels). Or behind the baseboard, some even have a dedicated cable duct integrated.

Bauherr am L25 Jul 2019 22:16I have been following the discussion on this topic. We are also considering the question: satellite dish, yes or no.
Our current preference is to avoid a satellite dish, not least because of the unattractive appearance. But apart from that, some people overlook an important point here: if you want to receive private channels via satellite in the best HD quality, you also have to pay a monthly fee for (HD+). So it’s not just a “one-time cost”...
The future is moving away from linear TV broadcasting. Even we usually stream the evening news because we often miss the scheduled airtime. And during penalty shootouts (which happen maybe once every 20 years), the neighbor would first have to get quite loud to really spoil the excitement for you...
