All (legal) systems will ultimately need a subscription to view more than the standard free to air stuff.  Be that:

Netflix - approx. £8pm
Now - approx. £10pm per pack
Amazon - approx. £7pm, includes Amazon next day delivery

Obviously iPlayer, ITV Hub, UKTV Play etc are all free.

We don't allow discussion of illegal streaming services here, so if you want to use them, go searching the net.

Or a Freeview box like I have.
Make sure it runs off the tv aerial and not a dish tho.  :y
Or of course you could buy a new tv with freeview built-in  ;)

Free view play will let you watch tv from the last week, direct from your epg.

FireSticks are good for what they do, be it a bit limited for Apps though being an Amazon Product, this week after the Black Friday malarki you can get a Roku Express for under 20 quid from the likes of Sainsburys, Currys, Tesco etc, will do a everthing a Firestick will do plus more, like NowTV, Prime and the Free normal TV Catch Up Stuff.

If you want to do more outside the box like the stuff we cant talk about then thats probably an Android Box these days, but thats a whole new ball game and a constant learning curve in order to keep up, and a potential risk via your ISP.
