Hello everyone,
I would like to get a rough idea of what to expect when installing a satellite dish system.
It will probably be an Astro 85cm (33 inches) dish, just for Astra. A splitter for up to 16 receivers.
Basically, the dish should be mounted, aligned, and the cable routed through the roof, since the splitter will be located in the attic under the roof.
A roof flashing or something similar will also be needed.
What have your experiences or quotes been?
I will handle running the cables from the splitter to the receivers myself.
Are we looking at a total cost of around 500 €, 1500 €, or even more?
I don’t really have a sense for this yet.
Best regards,
Tito

Exactly. A reasonable person drives a Kia or something similar because they want to travel from point A to point B safely, reliably, and comfortably — without being overcharged at the repair shop. That’s what you get with Kia.
A reasonable person chooses a kitchen from a source like Ikea, Nobilia, or a similar brand because they want to cook, store dishes, and so on. That’s what these kitchens are for. The same applies to satellite systems, faucets, and so forth.
Would you buy a Kathrein satellite dish if it didn’t have that big, bold label on it? Or simply nothing at all? Karsten

Not me, I totally agree with Alex85... Expensive satellite dishes don’t add any value, and unicable is, in my opinion, about as useful in a single-family house as a spare tire...
At prices of 20-30 euros for 100m (330 ft) of coaxial cable, I wouldn’t make a fuss and would simply run double cables to all rooms if necessary...
