Hi All,
So today i invested in a now tv stick to try out for £15, we currently have a basic sky q package with one extra mini box, this is now costing £51.40 a month and ive had enough of it, it drops connections a few times a month and theirs only a handfull of channels we watch, these i can get on now tv for £8.99 a month (entertainment package).
What im after doing is binning sky all together as i only have two months left in the contract and using a freeview box with the now tv.
The questions are as I dont want to shell out for a new telly and i dont need anything more than 1080 hd does any one have any thoughts on which would be a good box with the ability to record would be nice also.
Second I will need new aerials as the existing are ancient, i will have 3 tv`s in the house so will i need 3 aerials or will one suffice split in the loft with a splitter running in shielded coax?, having sky for so long has made my limited knowledge even worse. Also freeview play
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Another vote for free sat. We ditched sky, plugged in a fancy humax recording box in the living room and got a cheaper than chips one for the bedroom. It worked instantly.
I haven't missed sky at all. Well, except for the footy but it's stopped now anyway

Thanks for the replies, my existing aerials are old and shit, not even straight but my sky dish is only 15 months old, the recordable boxes are all similar in price and a quick tally up shows i can have 2 humax recordable boxes with cabling and 2 nowtv sticks installed and its still less than sky q costs for the first year then it becomes just the now tv after that for £8.99 a month, better than £51.40 a month, i am tempted with the dish option because i have plenty of houses between our roof and winter hill as our street drops below ( its a bungalow).
