I have had all three options. I used the DVB-T aerial when our useless Freeview still offered Dolby 5.1. Quality OK but not spectacularly better than other options on 55" TV. 

 

I had Sky once so bought a cheap satellite box and hooked that up to the dish. It had the advantage of +1, which was handy at the time.

 

Then streaming arrived. I bought a box for that as well and haven't looked back since. I use Apsattv and other playlists and have more channels than I can ever watch, including the Aussie ones. Like the commercial says, NZ runs on fibre, though actually I use a WISP.

i had a very similar issue when i moved into my house years ago.  In the end i just around $100 for a aerial tech to come in and sort it all out, was def worth it to have better quality DVB-T straight into the TV compared to mucking around with set top boxes etc

How far off the ground is the aerial?   There's an adjacent roof edge with a gutter. Sooner or later clearing the gutters will be an issue. Just something else to consider.
