Kodi supports live tv from a backend - frequently TVheadend but you can use others. TvHeadend/VDR etc allows you to create a live tv server and Kodi has a client that can view that live tv.
You can then consolidate satellite boxes by popping a PC running tvheadend with lots of DVB-T & DVB-S (freeview & satellite) adapters on in Node zero (a cupboard where all your network junk can go). You can then with smaller boxes such as fire tv stick run Kodi on each TV and take away your satellite receiver etc from each room.
Tvheadend PVR - Kodi
If you store your movies / box sets on a NAS you can watch them as well.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

I'm still happy with Topfield 5800 + Mystuff app. Purchased in 2006, it is still better than Sky+. Only Freeview however, and no HD.
Also Sony Blu-ray DVD for Amazon/Sony TV offerings, WD TV Live (doesn't understand YouTube anymore), controlled by Logitech Harmony remote.Comment
