SKY Q alternatives
It looks like that when my current Sky TV deal expires in July, the price to keep Sky Q is going to jump.....a lot. I don't want a Sky Glass TV, so I'm thinking of binning Sky TV and going with a Freeview / FreeSat type solution instead. I currently have 1 X Sky Q main box and 3 mini boxes. Twoof the mini boxes are not near a TV antenna, so I'm looking for a 'main box' and three 'mini boxes' that can connect, where necessary without an aerial cable. I think Humax used to have an answer to this, but they seem to be EOL now, so any suggestions for a new, non Sky solution please? Things that are important: main box must record / pause TV. Mini boxes must be able to 'slave' from the main box and like I say, 2 of them won't have access to an aerial socket. TIA.

There isn't one.
Q is the only current system that provides such distribution. (When it works)

Because your discounts expire. Ring Sky 30 days prior to expiration and negotiate a new contract.
An alternative would be Sky Stream providing you have suitable broadband.
