Hello
I'm looking to get some thoughts. We moved to a new house a couple of months ago with no TV aerial on the house and just a badly installed Sky Q dish that looks dreadful on the front of the house. We're not Sky customers so although our TV has Freesat there are no channels we want to watch (we have a 4K Samsung and a 1080P Plasma still going strong).
We do have BT Fibre broadband, so have been streaming all TV since we moved in. I'm currently considering upgrading to 300mb internet via another provider as BT don't serve our town with FTTP yet.
It's a 3 level Victorian Semi, so very tall which means that installing an aerial might need scaffolding (which we'll be putting up in the spring to do some maintenance on the roof).
In these days of more streaming, I'm not sure it's worth the cost/hassle of installing an aerial or a replacement satellite dish, so I thought I'd get the views of the forum
Our teenage kids mainly watch Youtube or play Spotify on the TV and my wife and I use the iPlayer a lot, Netflix and Prime Video plus the Eurosport player.
Curious to know if people think it's worth the spend either for more viewing options or for selling the house on one day?
I do plan to remove the present badly installed Sky dish as I can't use it anyway and won't ever be a Sky customer.
Thoughts welcomed.
Many thanks
