I use an android box I bought in the UK and it gives me all terrestrial channels all sky channels plus dozens more, including 8/9 b Bien channels ideal for a soccer fan one of which I am not, and works well my download speed is 8/9 MBS which copes with myself watching TV managment using her kindle, and visitors with their Ipads, I paid about £75 for mine, but yo can get them much cheaper now, check out this people Tomtop they ship out of china, but also have a UK warehouse, I have bought some bits off them for a friend and he rates them despite how cheap they are

Like JR we use an Android box which I bought in the UK on Amazon for £39 - 4K Smart TV Box - MXQ Pro Amlogic S905 Android 5.1 Quad Core CPU 1.6Ghz-2Ghz TV Box full HD 1080p Video Media Player.

Got it programmed with JR's great advice and it works fine, hope I can remember how to do it when we arrive tomorrow.
