I was using the fire stick with Kodi & Mobdro but now using Plex on the now TV box and it's a lot better system to use.

not an alternative, but a heads up that sky are giving big discounts to folk who have recently left.
some folk got 75% discount and £100 credit on their account, giving an overall cost of £40 per annum for a package with the sport.
I cancelled recently, and was due to get cut off this weekend. looked at my account online, and they were offering me 50% discount to stay.
went on the webchat, mentioned that i had heard they were giving 75% off and £100 credit and asked if i could have that. they came back and offered 60% off and £50 credit. i said no thanks, but if they gave me the 75% deal, i would sign up.
Waited a few minutes, they came back and offered 75% off and £50 credit. i took that - nothing to pay for 4 months, then £11 a month for the sports and variety pack. well happy with that.
i already have a now tv box with a plex sub which gives me just about everything, but it's not 100% reliable, and I can't record anything, so the sky deal compliments that nicely.

Have just saved nearly £400 over the next 12 months after a quick phone call to my current provider and asking them to make my bill cheaper.

Just cancelled my Sky package, price has shot up since my deal ended so I can't justify it now. The operator offered me 40% off my TV package but I'll take my chances with another offer down the line.

Phew you did well mate.
Logged into my account and saw the 50% discount offer, went onto live chat and I eventually mentioned the 75% offer, the chat person said as it was only for accounts which have been completely cancelled so they couldn't offer it to me. They were like "Martyn, I need to explain to you I CANNOT offer you that deal"
Anyway haggled a bit more and walked away with 60% discount and £50 credit which has taken my bill right down. Happy days.

Does plex just do the same thing as kodi and mobdro?

I've just cancelled Sky and got a deal with another supplier for the entire Sky package, a new Sky Q box , fitted for £30 per month. All I need to do is sort a new deal for the Internet and phone

You can get it on a Smart TV but it has been reported to give problems.
You are much better off paying the extra £20.00 and getting it pre-installed on a nowTV box.
It's much less likely to give you a headache.
And it's really easy to use.

Why do you need a landline? Don't you have a mobile?

Are there any problems with the tv box?

I thought Plex was just a way of getting content from your pc/tablet etc streamed onto your tv screen?
That's how I used it a few years ago anyway, I did notice there was a subscription service on their website but I didn't look into that.
