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?
For now, your thinking may be correct. But you are committing yourself. You buy satellite once, and then it runs without additional costs (unless you specifically want the private channels in HD).
If your TV provider raises the prices, you have to pay. If they raise them again, you pay again. If the channel lineup changes, your favorite channel might be dropped. If the internet price increases, you will need another provider who also offers TV to the extent you want—or you pay more. If you sell your house, some people might raise an eyebrow (yes, it can be retrofitted, but it costs more if there are no cables/conduits/roof connections installed).

Yes, the dependency is correct.
I am already dependent on district heating.
I personally think the argument about resale value is nonsense.
Just imagine. You find a house you like, but unfortunately it doesn’t have keys. (However, it does have fiber optic internet with 200 Mbit) I want to see the person who wouldn’t buy it because of that.

It may be a bit exaggerated, but I wouldn’t call it nonsense. It could possibly be seen as a negative aspect, and in the end, it’s always a matter of price.
The perfect used house doesn’t really exist anyway. So you consider what needs to be changed. One person wants to move a wall, another needs new furniture because of sloped ceilings, then someone wants a pond in the garden (or not, if there already is one), maybe more network outlets… all of these are costs that add on top of the house price, and at some point, there’s a limit to what you want or can afford.
Certain things simply belong to a “standard” and are expected by most people. I would also include a satellite connection (or cable TV, if available). Entertainment systems are still quite specialized.

Knallkörper1 May 2018 19:18The comparison between satellite and Entertain is misleading. There are many more options besides Entertain, and they will continue to increase. Even Amazon apparently offers live TV now, but hardly anyone is interested in that anymore. People want to watch a specific series or a current movie at a time of their own choosing.
What I find completely outdated is linear television itself, and satellite is exactly that.

If I understand correctly—which I don’t have much experience with—Netflix is like an online video rental service via internet streaming, where you have a membership card and pay a certain amount to borrow, meaning stream, content. You can probably also subscribe to different packages ranging from basic to all-inclusive with extras.
But it’s not traditional TV. That’s quite old-fashioned, similar to going out to rent three DVDs or, before that, videotapes. Traditional TV means broadcasts like 8:15 PM Bayern vs. Real, and you can’t rent that; it airs at a set time, so you watch it then or you miss it. By tomorrow, it’s already old news. TV also includes news programs and this afternoon’s Stones concert in Havana, which works great via satellite. K.
