ᐅ Recommendation for Satellite System

Hello fellow home builders,

We are currently planning our single-family house and are waiting for the general contractor’s quote.
Right now, I’m focusing on the satellite dish and would like to get your recommendations or advice.
Google shows different satellite dishes at times, so it’s a bit confusing.
So far, I have mainly noticed the TecniSat SATMAN 850 Plus and the DUR line 4-person dishes.
Which dish would you recommend?
What other hardware is needed besides the dish?

Thanks in advance,
Antonio

A Gibertini dish is often recommended as a good and affordable solution. I have had one here for almost eight years, and it works perfectly. However, I believe that—except for the very low-end models—there is no junk to be found regardless of the manufacturer. Besides the dish and the LNB, you will of course also need a mounting pole, cables, connectors, and—don’t forget—materials for proper grounding and lightning protection of the system, as well as the connection outlets. For more details on that, the knowledgeable @Dipol can provide further information.

Kathrein. Over 20 years on the roof, still looks like new.

Thanks for the quick response!
Is a receiver needed for every TV set? I know that was the case in the past 🙂 or are there maybe solutions where a splitter or something like that is installed in the equipment room, distributing the signals throughout the house?!

Best regards

The same goes for Gibertini – at half the price. 😉

Most modern TVs have one or even two satellite tuners built in, so in that case, you don’t need an additional receiver.
