Cancelled sky - what are my options?

I had sky Q fitted yesterday, as did my daughter 8 miles away.
I had mine installed & was told it's an extra £20 for the Touchscreen remote, so I paid by card, it will be posted to me.
An hour later, my daughters is fitted & she's handed the touchscreen remote for free!
I rang sky today to get my £20 back, I'm not paying for something they are giving other customers for free.
They'd give me £15 or a &20 M&S or Tesco voucher, for the principle of the matter I wouldn't accept it, I wanted my full £20.
So I've ended up cancelling. Part of the cancellation involves me getting my £20 back!!! So I've had my refund.
What now?
I've got a dish, no real Ariel.
Do I go to a sky competitior or do I get a free box.
I want the ability to record on the box & series link.
Don't watch sports, I have Netflix so I'm not bothered about film channels.
Just want to record programmes on channels 1 to 5.

1TB boxes are usually only supplied with one remote the standard one and neither are "Touchscreen".0 -
