Good evening,
how have you handled TV reception in your homes? Nowadays, there are many options:
Cable
Satellite (SAT)
SAT over IP
Internet-only
I’m really considering my options. The Internet connection available is 50,000 kb/s, which should be enough to supply everything solely via the Internet, which would save quite a bit of effort. However, if the Internet goes down, you can’t watch TV at all.
What I just discovered is SAT over IP. Does anyone have experience with this? It seems like a great solution to me. In this system, only one cable runs from the LNB to an IP converter. This converter is then connected to the router. This way, any network outlet can be used to supply a TV signal. Of course, an appropriate receiver is needed. With the corresponding apps or software, it is apparently also very easy to watch on any PC or smartphone. I think that’s great. Since I’m already planning the network locations for all possible TV spots, this could save the entire satellite cabling.
Has anyone worked with this system?

What about a standard cable connection? Isn’t that outdated now? The advantage of owning a house is having a satellite dish, which, with a reasonable initial investment, provides virtually unlimited channels for free from then on. The local public access channel is often only available via cable, but it’s not that important anyway.
So the answer to the original question is: satellite dish on the roof.
Or both options. Wired connection has the advantage that fewer cables need to be installed, as you can split them near the device. We originally wanted wired because our DSL only provided 3 Mbit so far. But since Unitymedia has not responded at all after ordering the house connection, we will probably cancel the order. The satellite dish is installed on the roof anyway.
Telecommunications, electricity, and water were very straightforward. I was even able to postpone the appointment by two days just one week in advance, and everything went perfectly. If the internet connection were essential, I would follow up on it as well. However, since the telecommunications provider now also offers 100 Mbit, the internet provider’s limitations make it less attractive, and I am considering saving the money.
