I am currently looking into how I will receive TV channels in the future. Is a satellite system with coaxial cables still considered modern here, or has the approach changed? Receiving via the internet or distributing satellite signals through network cables? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each system?

We are getting fiber optic and can also subscribe to TV through it, but we still use satellite. Satellite currently offers the widest selection and best picture quality. The great IPTV from Profi-Device also requires coaxial cabling because the signal is converted after the fiber connection. It’s apparently designed to be used in existing buildings as well.

I would bet a lot that satellite TV won’t last another 10 years.
Therefore, I would install a LAN wiring in addition to the satellite cabling.I accept the bet with the date of your post. What are we wagering?
Hmm, we have Prime and various apps, including media libraries. Sometimes I really struggle when I want to watch a movie from yesterday. Not everything is available, and some things have to be searched for awkwardly in the media libraries. We watched the latest documentaries on YouTube, not through the media library. That is not a replacement for us. If possible, we watch the offered programming (documentaries) via satellite; movies are not what I mean here.
I would install both satellite/coaxial and DSL/network cables to all TV outlets, all originating from a single central point.
Possibly even lay an empty conduit with large bends. I still remember the early nineties when we were excited that an empty conduit was available for the new satellite dish cabling. Maybe fiber optic cable will be needed someday?

Satellite TV is outdated. Our children no longer watch linear TV; they prefer YouTube and Netflix. Today’s programming no longer justifies the investment, especially since we also barely watch traditional TV anymore. A satellite system with a multiswitch and distribution to all living and bedrooms would have cost us over 2000€ (about 2000 USD). With that amount, I could finance 200 months of Netflix and similar services.
