For me I've been using roughly;
50% YouTube - Produce Like A Pro/Joe Rogan Podcast/X Games/MKBHD/Seth’s Bike Hacks/Phillip McKnight
30% Netflix - Terrace House/Mad Men/Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul/Anthony Bourdain/Last Chance U
20% Amazon Prime Video - The Americans/Red Oaks/Roadies/Bosch/All Or Nothing

In all seriousness it is a hard habit to break, but if you take a step back and think about it, having 'entertainment' forcibly beamed at you for hours every day while you achieve nothing is a seriously weird way to waste what little time we have here.
Mainly use netflix and the catch up apps, including YouTube.
Probably wouldn't bother with a dvr now.
Most modern tv's allow you to plug a hard drive into the back of them if you absolutely must record stuff.
Interestingly, when I rung at BT to dump them they told me to keep BT sports channels on my sky package will cost me £32 a month, so I told him to poke that as well. A couple of days later got my normal BT phone bill through checking through it and there was a little advertising say did you know you can get BT sports channels with your sky sports package for free for 18 months so that's what I did.
Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

BT Youview+ Set Top Box with Twin HD Freeview and 7 Day Catch Up TV, No Subscription https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ISS61KE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_oauJBb4DFRQSP
We've just moved to BT fibre broadband, and a BT TV/YouView box.
The good bit - there's actually no TV that I miss. We have Netflix and Amazon Prime - between those, we've got all the bases covered (and actually we don't watch a whole lot of telly). Broadband is very fast - there are blips currently, but that's apparently normal in the first few weeks of service.
The bad bit - the YouView interface is no way as intuitive and slick as Sky. I find the box laggy compared to Sky, although the latest UI update from Sky was awful and slowed it down enormously.
Also - BT customer service is utter shite. Their marketing misled me about the TV packages that I'd be subscribed to (they practically admitted to me on one of the 5 conversations/chats I've had with them over the last few weeks). It was so poor that I was tempted to just ditch them for Sky based on customer service alone, particularly as Sky were going to slash the cost of TV for me.
But... I'm glad I've stuck with them. If you can't justify the premium TV service that Sky is - we as a family couldn't - BT/Netflix/Amazon is a decent alternative.
