We have the option to use telephone, internet, and TV services from a cable provider in our development area. Nevertheless, we are having a telecommunications connection installed in the house. In addition, we want to at least have an empty conduit installed from the attic to the utility room for the satellite system.
Our question: Should any other useful preparations be made to possibly allow for a later switch to satellite TV? Additional TV outlets in the rooms, etc.?

Use Sat over IP if needed. I consider it unnecessary to install extra satellite cables just in case.I believe this is the completely wrong approach... it partially makes you dependent on a technology that is still in its early stages.
What speaks against simply running coaxial cables in a star topology to every room (for example, from the main distribution frame) and then using them as needed?
The advantage is that the cable itself costs practically nothing (about half the price of CAT cable) and also keeps the network outlets in the rooms free or available for network devices, which sometimes occupy the only free port.

Coaxial cable is the same.
The connection of the outlets is different.
For cable, the connection is daisy-chained, while for satellite, star wiring is used.
The outlets themselves usually differ for cable (47-862 MHz) and satellite (950-2400 MHz).
However, there are also pass-through outlets that can handle the entire signal spectrum and can be used either with a termination resistor or without.

The connection of the outlets is different.
For cable TV, the signal is passed through, while for satellite, separate branch lines are laid.
The outlets themselves are usually different for cable (47–862 MHz) and satellite (950–2400 MHz).
However, there are pass-through outlets that can handle the full frequency range and can be used with termination resistors in both cases.Similar topics
