Do you know anyone with Amazon prime, that lives in the '2 hour' delivery zone? If they've never used it before, there's a £10 discount code floating around.
You'd then order a Fire TV stick for £25 (after discount). I've got a Chromecast, Fire TV Stick and Apple TV - the stick gets my vote every time.0 -

the now TV box is a Roku box that is made in white and flashed with Sky,s own software.
a std Roku box can use Netflix and is a "app" available from Roku
in order to use a Roku branded box in black , you just plug it in , however you have to spend 5 mins reflashing the software to the std Roku stuff if you want to use the white "sky" branded one
sky subsidise the boxes they sell ,
