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

Nowadays, I would at least ask myself whether a satellite system is really necessary or if IPTV would be sufficient. It is much simpler in terms of configuration and maintenance.

Jumping in:
Which LNB and multiswitch would be needed for 8 participants? There are coaxial cable outlets in 6 rooms. One room will be added if needed. Additionally, one connection should be linked to a SatOverIP receiver in the utility room.

Good point from rdwlnts. Personally, I would still install a satellite system for now, but only in places where there is actually a TV today, and I wouldn’t spend a fortune on it. What I find much more important nowadays is proper network cabling in conduit. At least for me, this is the future in the medium term.

Actually, I have discussed this with my wife. However, you are always dependent on the internet connection. Although my wife and I hardly watch any free-to-air TV ourselves, it might be useful to have a way for the children to watch regular television occasionally. 🙂

So even children don’t watch free-to-air TV... 😎:p

Thank you! Is it best to install the multiswitch in the attic, or can it also be installed in the utility room on the ground floor without the signals being too heavily attenuated? (We have a cold roof; however, it is dry).
