  After some frustration with IPTV providers, I came to the conclusion that there is still nothing better than DVB-S in terms of picture quality.
  
  The Selfsat is simply ideal for the balcony of the rented flat. After some research, I was a little worried about the reception strength, which is why I chose the H21 instead of the H30. According to the manufacturer, the gain is higher here.
  
  In practice, however, my fears were unfounded. The reception of Astra 19.2 works perfectly, even in heavy rain and thick clouds.
  
  One drawback is the mounting: many people (like me) mount the antenna on the balcony railing, i.e. with a horizontal arm. The arm should face west. In my case, however, it has to face east, and you can't turn the antenna all the way around. At some point it hits the arm. Solution: Turn the arm upwards at an angle, so that the elevation and skew values can no longer be taken from the table. But it still works.
  
  It remains to be seen whether the antenna can withstand direct sunlight in summer. I have already read that some of the plastic is deformed or embrittled by the heat. more
