is there anything i can buy to future proof my entertainment or is that ridiculous ?

have a look at the media@link black panther box seems a good box for the money easy to set up for about ?59
nobody knows how long anything will last you pay your money and take your chances

if you want more from your box such as youtube 7 day epg streaming movies then you would be better looking at a linux box, for your budget, a clone dm 800 might be the way to go but they have a much bigger learning curve

no , and yes

a spiderbox 6000 is cheap and will give various options like the 12 months blah blah (not 28e) and iptv streaming and usb stick file playback

otherwise buy a VU or similar and obtain much more, but with a bigger learning curve (VU or the gigablue or technomate twin)
