Hello,
we are currently planning our semi-detached house.
I wanted to ask for your opinion on satellite TV.
Would you still consider satellite TV in a new build at all? So far, I have had good experiences with satellite TV.
A friend of mine told me that from 2024, fees will also be charged for satellite TV (similar to cable TV subscription fees).
Is that true? What is the story with these fees?
Does satellite TV still make sense?
Yes, I watch a lot of streaming and on-demand services, but I currently still use satellite TV for live sports.

Why did you switch to satellite if IPTV was working fine?It was primarily a contractual and cost issue with the IPTV provider that led to this individual decision. We do not miss IPTV.
bauenmk202019 Jul 2022 20:43Installing a satellite dish can be quite challenging for a layperson! Especially the topic of grounding requires some study and understanding.
I will also soon install the dish on the roof. Unfortunately, I have no other option; otherwise, I would have used my old self-install satellite antenna.
But indeed: I wouldn’t do it without direct access to the roof either.
Linear television is straightforward and is a good option to have a redundant source of information.

schubert7920 Jul 2022 10:43When repainting our facade, we had the satellite dish installed 10 years ago removed. TV, Netflix, and similar services are now accessed through Deutsche Telekom Magenta TV. It works perfectly and, combined with mobile phone and TV services, it’s also reasonably priced!

xMisterDx27 Jul 2022 18:35About three weeks ago, I surprised the electrician quite a bit when I declined the 5 or 6 included satellite TV outlets. It seems to be quite uncommon around here, as many neighbors have satellite dishes...
However, I have been using Amazon Prime for over 6 years and Magenta TV for 2 years now and don’t want anything else. I need the internet anyway...
And regarding interference reliability... you can also "turn off" satellites. That works very easily.

And regarding interference issues... you can also “turn off” satellites. That’s quite simple. I just found this thread through the search. Do you happen to remember if you received any credit (if at all) for removing the satellite wiring? I’m thinking along similar lines...
