Ditched Sky What Are My Options?

Options
Ditched Sky due to price and not really watching it.

I've not got a aerial but have sky cables into bedroom where I might get a Freesat 500gb box so we can record stuff still (still expensive at £200).

What are my options for the 2 other rooms where we currently have multi room sky boxes. Have ethernet and Nvidia Shields in these rooms. Not fussed about recording in these rooms. 

Cheers

    What can they offer that a Nvidia Shield can't? The shield I can stream Netflix, Disney, Apple. Just not sure how to view Freeview channels.

  • I switched to an Apple TV and found i can subscribe to all the streaming apps at once and still not get close to what i was paying with Sky. The only thing i've no solution for is National Geographic.
